Happy Sunday! I hope you have all had a wonderful Sunday! I spent some time with my family today, so I’m a little late in getting this week’s post up.
Today I share the best recipe I’ve come across for (almost) everyone’s favorite cake – chocolate! I actually got this recipe from a friend and it is by far the tastiest and most moist…and its easier than most too!
Here are all my ingredients ready to go…
You start by combining all the “wet” ingredients except the boiling water: sugar, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and creamy looking.
In a separate bowl mix together all the “dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Then add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and beat until smooth and there are no streaks of flour, but don’t over mix.
Once everything is combined, SLOWLY pour in the bowling water. If you add it too quickly it will splash out and make a mess everywhere (not that I know anything about that!)
The batter will be very runny, but it bakes up just fine. This recipe will make 2 9” round cakes. Since I’m usually making larger cakes, I double the recipe and bake it in a half sheet pan:
Enjoy!
And now for the actual recipe...
