Chocolate Cake Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowls
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Electric mixer
- Two 9-inch round cake pans
- 1 Parchment paper
- 1 Cooling rack
- 1 Saucepan for ganache
Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix using an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.
Add Boiling Water:
- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
Bake:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make Chocolate Ganache:While the cakes are baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Assemble and Frost:Once the cakes have cooled completely on a rack, spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining ganache.
Decorate (Optional):
- You can decorate the cake with additional chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice and serve the delicious homemade chocolate cake. It's perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply satisfying your chocolate cravings!
