Chocolate Moist Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
