Description

This easy one bowl chocolate cake recipe delivers a moist, rich, and deeply chocolatey dessert perfect for beginners. All the ingredients are mixed in a single bowl, making cleanup simple. It’s a foolproof way to create a delicious homemade chocolate cake that tastes like it came from a bakery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir them together.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the same bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will become thin; this is what makes the cake moist.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes. You can check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use freshly boiled water for the best chocolate flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the liquids.
  • Test the cake for doneness around the 30-minute mark to prevent overbaking.
  • Frost with your favorite buttercream or ganache for an extra special treat.
