This cake was a super hit in my household, this recipe is completely fool proof and it is a fluffy moist decadent chocolate cake.
INGREDIENTS
Butter, for greasing the pans
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees and grease a square or rectangular oven tray
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry.
- With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
