πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 🍬
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder πŸ₯„

  • 1 cup milk πŸ₯›
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil πŸ›’οΈ
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1 cup boiling water β˜•οΈ

πŸ“ Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

  1. Preheat the oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9×13-inch baking pan.
  1. Mix dry ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together until well blended.
  1. Add wet ingredients:
  • Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth.
  1. Add boiling water:
  • Carefully stir in the boiling water until just combined. The batter will be thin, but this is what makes the cake moist and rich.

2. Bake the Cake:

  1. Pour the batter:
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes for the round cake pans, or 35-40 minutes for the 9×13-inch pan, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool:
  • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3. Frost and Serve (Optional):

  1. Frost the cake:
  • Frost the cake with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate buttercream or cream cheese frosting, once it’s completely cooled.
  1. Serve:
  • Slice the One Bowl Chocolate Cake and serve with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

🍽️ Tips:

  • Enhance flavor: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the dry ingredients for a deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
