Chocolate Cake Recipe: A Classic And Decadent Dessert Idea

Chocolatetown Special Cake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

Instructions:

This cake may look complicated, but it’s actually quite simple to make. Just follow these easy step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F and butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Add wet ingredients

Into the same bowl, add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat everything together until smooth. Don’t worry if the batter looks a bit thick at this point.

Step 4: Add boiling water

Very carefully, pour in the boiling water and stir everything together until you have a thin batter. The batter will be quite runny, but don’t worry, that’s exactly what you want.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in their pans before removing them.

Step 6: Assemble

To assemble the cake, place one layer on a cake plate or serving dish. Spread a thick layer of your favorite chocolate frosting on top, then top with the second cake layer. Frost the entire cake with a thick layer of frosting, then decorate as desired. You can use chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or anything else that strikes your fancy.

Step 7: Serve

Slice and serve your delicious Chocolatetown Special Cake and enjoy!
