🍰 Ultimate Chocolate Cake Recipe 🍫

🧂 Ingredients

For the Cake Layers:

  • 🥣 1¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour

  • 🍫 ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 🍬 2 cups (400g) sugar

  • 🧁 2 tsp baking soda

  • 🧂 1 tsp baking powder

  • 🧂 1 tsp salt

  • 🥚 2 large eggs

  • 🥛 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)

  • 🌻 ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil

  • 🍦 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • ☕ 1 cup (240ml) hot coffee (for rich flavor — or hot water for mild)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 🔥 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans.

  2. 🧁 Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 🥄 Add wet ingredients (except coffee): Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

  4. ☕ Add hot coffee: Stir in slowly — the batter will be thin (that’s perfect for moistness!).

  5. 🍰 Bake: Pour into pans and bake 30–35 min or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. ❄️ Cool completely before frosting.
