You only need a few ingredients and a few minutes to whip up this amazing cake. This is a great recipe for beginner bakers, but advanced bakers will love it too. So let’s get baking!
Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this moist chocolate cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Be sure to tap out any excess flour.
In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the oil and sugar on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until just combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Add the hot water and mix until fully combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting
This moist chocolate cake is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with a delicious frosting. We suggest a classic chocolate buttercream frosting. Simply cream together 1/2 cup (115g) butter and 3 cups (340g) powdered sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup (45g) cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully combined. Add 2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream to thin out the frosting, if desired.
Once your cake has cooled, spread the frosting between the two layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Enjoy!
Nutrition
This moist chocolate cake is delicious, but it’s not the healthiest option. Each slice contains around 500 calories and 25 grams of fat. If you’re looking for a healthier option, try reducing the sugar and oil in the recipe. You can also use a low-fat buttermilk and egg substitutes to reduce the calories and fat even further.
Conclusion
This moist chocolate cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It’s easy to make, delicious and sure to please everyone. Give this recipe a try and you’ll be sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy!
