Extreme Chocolate Cake
This cake is so rich and moist, it’s practically a chocolate cloud. But first, let’s feast our eyes on this divine creation!
Now that we’ve gazed upon this masterpiece, let’s get right into the nitty-gritty of what you’ll need to create this chocolate sensation.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans. You’ll want to slide this beauty out with ease!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined—like a chocolatey united front!
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Whisk until everything is smooth and bursting with potential.
- Now for the pièce de résistance: slowly stir in the boiling water. It’ll look thin—don’t worry, that’s how we unleash all that chocolaty goodness!
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (if it’s covered in gooey chocolate, just pop it back in for a few more minutes).
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience, oh sweet tooth, patience!
Once your cakes have cooled down, feel free to frost them with rich chocolate frosting, or keep it simple with a dusting of powdered sugar. Whatever you choose, just know that you’re about to experience a slice of happiness in every bite!
So, roll up those sleeves, crack open that cocoa, and let’s get baking!
