I Love Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake

Chocolate cake or chocolate gâteau is a cake flavored with melted chocolate, cocoa powder, or both. So if you are a faint of heart chocolate cake person, this is not the cake for you.

Ingredients:
For this chocolate cake, you’ll need the following ingredients

Step by step Preperations:

  1. Prep. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with baking spray or buttering and lightly flouring.
  2. Whisky dry ingredients. Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
  3. Whisk through to combine or, using your paddle attachment, stir through flour mixture until combined well.
  4. Mix in wet ingredients. Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined.
  5. Bake. Distribute cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the chocolate cake comes out clean.
  6. Frost. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and cool completely

Believe me when I say, it is very much worth the effort to have just for those times you are baking with chocolate!
