The title of this cake means a lot to me (Justine) because I found it while exploring one of my favorite new blogs, Happy Lady Eats. And really, does anything make you feel better than dipping your fork into a fresh, hot, slice of chocolate cake?
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled or vegetable oil, plus more for pans
3/4 cup cocoa powder, plus more for pans
2 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk, room temperature
2 large eggs, lightly beaten, room temp.
1 cup boiling water
Prep:
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly butter your pan.
Dust sides with cocoa (this is to prevent your cake from sticking to the pan, upon removal).
Recipe:
In a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup coca, the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter or oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes. Add boiling water and beat to combine (batter will be thin).
Bake for 40-45 minutes (if you're using a bunt cake like we did). Once finished baking, stick a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean then you're all set!
Let the cake cool, before you take it out, it'll come out easier if it's not hot. Dust powder sugar on the top of the cake for an extra added sweetness or if you had a bit of trouble taking your cake out. haha.
Enjoy!
