Chocolate Cake

By

Easy 1 bowl cake.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk or 1 cup milk with 1 Tbsp. vinegar added, stir and leave sit for 5 minutes then use immediately
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup hot water
  • Frosting & Sprinkles

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Mix in the oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Once the eggs are fully incorporated, pour in the hot water and mix well (your batter will seem runny, but it will work out!).

Grease a 9x13" baking pan and pour batter into pan. Bake for 33-38 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean- mine was done at 33 minutes). When the cake is completely cool, top with frosting and decorate with sprinkles (if so desired).
