Fluffy Chocolate Cake

Print Recipe

A moist and fluffy chocolate cake with a tender crumb, perfect for birthdays and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) boiling water or hot coffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. Sift the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) into a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla).
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until well incorporated.
  5. Carefully add the boiling water or hot coffee to the batter and whisk until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use hot coffee instead of water. This cake freezes well; wrap cooled layers tightly before freezing. For best results, use room temperature eggs and milk.
