Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring, ensuring the batter stays smooth and thin.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
