How to Make Homemade Chocolate Cake Bliss
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water or brewed coffee (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate buttercream frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, beating until the frosting is fluffy and smooth. Adjust the consistency with more cream if needed.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of chocolate frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake. Decorate as desired.
Tips:
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Use buttermilk instead of whole milk for a richer flavor.
- Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture.
- Experiment with flavored extracts like almond or mint for a unique twist.
Make a Healthier Version:
- Use applesauce instead of oil for a lower-fat option.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
