Now that you’ve gazed at the cake of your chocolate dreams, let’s talk about what you need to whip it up!
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- White icing (store-bought or homemade, your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Seriously, don’t skip this step unless you enjoy scraping your cake off the bottom of the pan like it’s a crime scene.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk so it’s all combined, like a happy family reunion.
- Add in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until it’s smoother than your best pick-up line on a Saturday night.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. Yes, it’s supposed to be liquidy—don’t panic. Magic happens when you least expect it!
- Pour the batter evenly into your prepared cake pans. Now, let them bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. And yes, it’s entirely acceptable to do a little dance while you wait.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Force them to chill out because frosting warm cake is a recipe for disaster.
- Once cooled, slather your white icing on like you’re decorating for a party. Don’t be shy—more is definitely more!
And voila! You’ve just created a Black Magic Cake that is sure to impress (and maybe even hex) all who taste it. Now slice yourself a piece, sit back, and enjoy your well-deserved slice of magic!
