I have found this basic Chocolate Cake recipe which is bang on when it comes to right amount of softness in a cake. I made this cake for my daughter Tisha’s birthday. It was soft and tasty. Kids loved it along with all the guests.

I am not sharing recipe for frosting as I used vanilla buttercream frosting from market.

Here, it goes – a very simple and basic Chocolate Cake recipe.

Ingredients–

• 2 cup Sugar
• 1 ¾ cup All Purpose Flour
• ¾ cup Cocoa Powder
• 2 Eggs
• 1 ½ tbsp Baking Powder
• 1 ½ tbsp Baking Soda
• ½ tbsp Salt
• 1 cup warm Water
• 1 cup Milk
• ½ cup vegetable/canola oil
• 1 ½ tbsp Vanilla extract

Method –

• Preheat your Oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients – sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In another large bowl, mix whisk Egg with water, milk, oil and vanilla extract.
• Combine both and mix them slowly, making it a smooth paste.
• Grease your Cake Pan and pour this mixture on it.
• Bake it for 27-30 minutes.
• Every oven heat is different so check on your cake with a toothpick in the center of cake. Your cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.
• When cake is done, let it rest on wire rack for a minute or two.
• Let it cool completely before applying frosting.

You can decorate cake the way you like, or just forget about all the fuss, and eat it, the way it is. 🙂

Enjoy!!!

P.S. My cooking is experimental. You will find many similar and different recipes, but the idea is to explore your food and do experiments with it. Enjoy Cooking Experiments and Experiences 🙂
