Description

This is what you crave when you imagine the best chocolate cake ever. Ever. Ever!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1-¾ cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ cups Vegetable Oil Or Canola Oil
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Water
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 1-¾ stick Butter, Melted
  • 7 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (heaping)
  • ⅔ cups Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 5 cups Powdered Sugar

Preparation

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Thoroughly spray two 9-inch round cake pans with a non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl and mix on low speed. Don’t over-mix. Add water and mix again to combine. Don’t over-mix. Don’t worry, the batter will be thin. Pour the batter into the pans and bake for 25 minutes or just until a toothpick/fork poked into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Cool for 10 minutes before removing cakes from the pans.

For the frosting:
In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter and cocoa. Add milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat well to combine.

Put your first cake layer onto your platter, flat side up. Frost the first cake layer with approximately half (or just a tad less) of the frosting. Add the top cake layer, flat side down. Finish frosting the cake all over. Enjoy this one! It’ll be the best chocolate cake you’ve ever tasted. 100%.
