Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice, let sit for 5 minutes)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour in the hot water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Feel free to frost your cake with your favorite frosting once it's completely cooled. Enjoy your delicious moist chocolate cake!
