Learn how to make my go-to chocolate cake recipe that's about as easy as whipping up a box of cake mix, only way tastier! This cake is super moist, decadent, and is packed with amazing chocolate flavor. The full recipe and decorating details are on my blog here: [ Ссылка ]

Ingredients:
2 Cups (265g) all purpose flour
1 2/3 Cups (340g) white granulated sugar
2/3 Cup (60g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder (not Dutch Process)
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 Cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Cup (240ml) full-fat buttermilk*, room temperature DIY recipe in the notes
1 Cup (240ml) hot water

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans by spraying the sides with cooking spray and fitting the bottoms with a wax paper or parchment cake circle.

2. Place all of the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and stir on low for 30 seconds to fully combine them. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix on low until just combined. With the mixer still on low, add the hot water in a slow stream, then turn the mixer to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. The batter will be very thin.

3. Pour into prepared cake pans no more than 2/3 full and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting with chocolate buttercream or frosting of your choice.

*DIY Buttermilk recipe: add 1 Tbsp of white vinegar to a jar and top it with 1 Cup of whole milk. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes before using in the recipe.

Make ahead tips: this cake can be made ahead and stored at room temperature, covered tightly in plastic wrap, for up to two days. Alternatively, you can cover with plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to two months before thawing to room temperature.
