Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot chocolate or hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Alternatively, you can line the bottoms with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps to ensure that all the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Add in the wet ingredients and mix well until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- In a cup, mix 2 tbsp of hot chocolate in boiling water then stir it in the batter. Alternatively, you can just use hot boiling water. The batter will be thin, but don’t worry—that’s what makes the cake moist!
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
