How do you make chocolate cake?

Answer 1

Here is a simple recipe for making chocolate cake:

Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup 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.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well using a whisk until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until everything is well combined.
4. Pour in the boiling water gradually, while continuing to beat the mixture. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.
5. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cakes have cooled completely, you can frost them with your favorite frosting, such as buttercream or chocolate ganache. You can also fill the cake with a layer of frosting, if desired.
9. Decorate the cake as desired and serve.

Enjoy your homemade chocolate cake!

Please note that microwaves can vary in power, so the cooking time might differ slightly. It's best to keep an eye on the cake while it's cooking to avoid overcooking.
