Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and then stir in the milk until fully combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing which can cause a tough cake texture.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing and serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a richer flavor and tender crumb.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool before frosting or serving to prevent melting.
- This cake pairs well with chocolate frosting, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
