Let's Bake: Delicious Chocolate Cake

Hmmm, do you see what we see? Chocolatey goodness that we can make OURSELVES! Let's jump in!


Here's what you'll need

  • butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tablespoon baking soda

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Here's how you'll do it:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.

  • Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.

  • Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.

  • Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.

  • Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
