Have you ever had one of those days where everything just feels off and nothing seems exciting, Well, that was exactly how I felt last Thursday because it was hot and I was cranky and I was craving chocolate like my life depended on it. So I rummaged through the pantry and I nearly gave up since there was no cocoa powder in sight and I started to panic but then I spotted a can at the back and that felt like victory.

And this cake ended up saving the day because I’m not even kidding when I say that on my first try I overmixed the batter which was a total rookie mistake yet it still turned out so moist that I actually wondered if it was even legal to be that good and I don’t say that lightly.

So have you ever had a cake that feels like it hugs your soul a little Well, that’s exactly what this one does because it doesn’t even need any fancy frosting although you can do whatever you like and I usually just add some ganache on top and call it a win.

And if your kid ends up licking the bowl clean then don’t worry because mine did too and not just once but twice.

So let’s go ahead and bake some happiness together because why not…

Ingredients :

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar

How to Make Moist Chocolate Cake

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9×13-inch pan, then lightly flour them, or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

Second, mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Step 3

Then, add the wet ingredients: Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the hot water: Slowly add boiling water or hot coffee to the mixture. The mixture will be thin, but this is what makes the cake moist.

Step 4

Now, let’s bake the cake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Finally, cool and frost: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting by whipping the butter until fluffy. Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Cover the cake with the frosting after it has completely cooled.
