Moist and Fluffy Chocolate Cake

Sure, here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a moist and fluffy chocolate cake:

Ingredients:

• 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup (240ml) boiling water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper rounds.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Add Boiling Water: Stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay – it’s what helps make the cake moist.
5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Frost and Serve: Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite frosting. You can use chocolate buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or any frosting of your choice. Slice and serve!

This chocolate cake is wonderfully moist and fluffy, perfect for any occasion!
