Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk, room temperature
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 units large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans. Grease the pans with butter or nonstick spray, then line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while whisking the batter. The batter will be very thin, but this is what makes the cake extremely moist.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and gently tap the pans on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache. Decorate as desired and serve!
