Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour A key component for structure and texture.
  • 0.75 cups cocoa powder Adds rich chocolate flavor; choose high-quality for best results.
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder Helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda Helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs Bind the ingredients together and add moisture.
  • 1 cup milk Can substitute with buttermilk for added tanginess.
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil Provides moisture.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips For extra chocolatey goodness; use semi-sweet or dark chocolate.

Equipment

  • 2 9-inch round cake pans Grease and flour before pouring batter.
  • 1 Large mixing bowl For mixing dry ingredients.
  • 1 Whisk For combining wet and dry ingredients.

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cake bakes evenly and comes out perfectly fluffy.
Step 2: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect all your ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Don’t forget the chocolate chips for that extra indulgence!
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well combined!
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
Step 6: Add Chocolate Chips
  1. Fold in the chocolate chips. This is where the magic happens—more chocolate means more delight!
Step 7: Prepare the Baking Pans
  1. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. This will help your cake slide out easily once baked.
Step 8: Pour and Bake
  1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Cakes
  1. Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: Frost and Enjoy!
  1. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting. Slice, serve, and watch everyone fall in love with your Decadent Chocolate Delight Cake!
