Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
For Frosting:
- 1 cup butter soft
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 –4 tbsp milk
Toppings (Optional):
- Chocolate shavings
- Chocolate syrup
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pans
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two pans and line them with paper.
Mix the Dry Items
- In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Stir well.
Add the Wet Items
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and thick.
Add Hot Water
- Pour in the hot water slowly. The mix will get thin. That’s fine—it makes the cake soft.
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into both pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes. Check with a toothpick; if clean, it’s done.
Cool the Cakes
- Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes. Then take them out and cool fully on a rack.
Make the Frosting
- Beat butter until creamy. Add sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.
Frost the Cake
- Put one cake layer on a plate. Spread frosting on it. Place the second cake on top and cover with more frosting. Smooth the sides.
Decorate and Serve
- Add chocolate shavings and syrup. Serve with ice cream.
Notes
- Use room-temperature milk and eggs.
- Don’t overmix the batter.
- Add coffee instead of water for stronger flavor.
- Let the cake cool before frosting.
- Use good cocoa for the best taste.
