Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- Chocolate frosting for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with an electric mixer on medium speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully add the boiling water to the batter, mixing on low speed until the water is fully integrated. The batter will be very thin, which is normal for this recipe.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s), ensuring an even distribution to promote uniform baking.
- Place the pan(s) in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. To test doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, frost with chocolate frosting. For a Super Bowl theme, consider decorating with team colors or football-related designs.
- Slice and serve at room temperature. The cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- The boiling water might seem strange, but it's key to creating an incredibly moist cake.
- For precise baking, use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting and sliding.
- For a professional finish, use a cake turntable and offset spatula when decorating.
- Get creative with football-themed decorations using colored frostings or fondant!
