Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cake bakes evenly from the moment you put it in.
- Prepare the Cake Pans: Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. This will prevent the cake from sticking and make it easier to remove once baked.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This step is crucial for an even distribution of the leavening agents.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to a dense cake.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve a smoother batter.
- Mix until just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Use a toothpick to ensure the centers are fully baked without overcooking.
- Let cakes cool completely to prevent the frosting from melting when applied.
- Try various frostings to personalize your cake’s flavor.
