Print Recipe

A rich and classic chocolate cake with a perfect balance of moist texture and deep chocolate flavor, widely praised as a family favorite and ideal for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Add eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, hot water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest flavor. Hot water helps bloom the cocoa for deeper chocolate taste. For best results, bring eggs and dairy ingredients to room temperature before mixing.
