Chocolate Cake Recipe

To start making this Chocolate Cake recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of boiling water.

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and runny.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost them with your favorite chocolate frosting and decorate as desired. This Chocolate Cake recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, just like it has been with mine for generations. Enjoy!.
