Here is a simple homemade chocolate cake recipe you can finish and share 🍫🍰
Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
- 180 g all-purpose flour (1½ cups)
- 60 g unsweetened cocoa powder (½ cup)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 200 g sugar (1 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 120 ml vegetable oil (½ cup)
- 240 ml milk (1 cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 ml hot water or hot coffee (½ cup)
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter becomes smooth and well combined.
- Slowly pour in the hot water or hot coffee while mixing. The batter will look thin—this is normal and helps make the cake moist.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely.
Optional Chocolate Frosting (Quick):
- 120 g butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Beat everything together until creamy, then spread over the cooled cake.
✨ Tip: This cake is extra delicious served with strawberries, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
