To cook a chocolate cake, here's a simple recipe you can follow:
Ingredients:
- 1 and ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water, which will make the batter thin. Don't worry, that's normal.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can frost and decorate them as desired with chocolate frosting or ganache.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate cake!
