Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Liquid Ingredient:
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 175°C (350°F) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans with grease and flour coating.
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisking sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
- Incorporate wet ingredients including eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, blending at medium speed for approximately 2 minutes until thoroughly combined.
- Gently fold boiling water into the batter, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and maintains a liquid consistency.
- Evenly distribute the thin chocolate batter between the prepared cake pans, ensuring equal volume in each pan.
- Place pans in preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean when cake is fully baked.
- Allow cakes to rest in their pans for 10 minutes to stabilize structure, then carefully transfer to cooling racks to reach room temperature before further preparation.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth batter mixing and even cake texture.
- Sift dry ingredients beforehand to eliminate lumps and create a lighter, more consistent cake.
- For gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain cake’s structure and taste.
- Add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to enhance chocolate’s deep, rich flavor without making the cake taste like coffee.
