Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup Boiling Water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. This ensures your cake will release easily after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Boiling Water: Slowly mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is what makes it moist and fudgy!
- Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use Quality Cocoa: Opt for high-quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature for a better cake texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined for the fluffiest cake.
- Check for Doneness: Every oven is different, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
- Cool Completely: Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
