Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Slowly pour in the hot water and stir until the batter is smooth and slightly thin. This step helps create a moist texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar or frost with chocolate ganache for extra indulgence.
