Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (400 g) sugar
- ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
For the Chocolate Frosting (Optional)
- ½ cup (115 g) butter, softened
- ⅔ cup (55 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in boiling water slowly (batter will be thin—this makes it moist).
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
2. Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Prepare the Frosting (Optional)
- Beat butter until creamy.
- Gradually add cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with milk, until smooth and spreadable.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Assemble
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting evenly.
- Place second layer on top and frost the top and sides.
Tips for Extra Moisture
- Use coffee instead of boiling water for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Don’t overbake—check a few minutes before the timer.
- Let the cake rest a few hours; it develops even better texture.
