UNBELIEVABLE CHOCOLATE CAKE

This recipe was super easy to follow and was delicious! It is a very rich cake in my opinion! I also hand mixed everything and it turned out really well so if you don’t have a mixer do not worry!

UNBELIEVABLE CHOCOLATE CAKE

INGREDIENTS

•  1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
•  2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
•  2 1/2 cups sugar
•  2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
•  1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
•  1 1/4 teaspoons salt
•  2 large eggs plus 1 large egg yolk
•  1 1/4 cups warm water
•  1 1/4 cups buttermilk
•  1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•  1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, making sure the baking rack is in the middle of the oven. Prepare two round 9-inch cake pans by cutting out a piece of parchment or wax paper to line the bottom of the pan. Grease the pans, place the parchment or wax paper in the bottom of the pan and lightly grease again. Dust the pans with flour (or cocoa powder if you don’t want the white dusting on the finished cakes). Set the pans aside.
2. Using a fine mesh strainer, sift together the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add the eggs, yolk, warm water, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Mix on low speed (with a handheld mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer) until smooth, about 3 minutes.
