Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe With Vegetable Oil
Ingredients
This moist chocolate cake is made with a few simple ingredients. You will need 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 cup of hot water, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, hot water, and vanilla extract until combined.
Next, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
This moist chocolate cake is best served with a rich chocolate frosting. To make the frosting, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once the chocolate is melted, stir in 1/2 cup of butter and 1/3 cup of heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before stirring in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2-3 cups of powdered sugar. The frosting should be thick enough to spread, but feel free to add more powdered sugar to achieve your desired consistency.
Assembling the Cake
Once your cakes are cooled and your frosting is prepared, it’s time to assemble the cake. Place one of the cakes on a cake stand or plate and spread a thick layer of frosting on top. Place the remaining cake on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for an extra special touch.
Serving
This moist chocolate cake is sure to please a crowd. Serve it as an after-dinner treat or as a special birthday cake. Cut it into slices and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a truly decadent treat.
Storage
Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To serve, simply remove the cake from the container and allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
