Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk (or substitute with 1/2 cup milk + 1/2 tbsp vinegar)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (120ml) hot water or brewed coffee (for deeper flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the hot water or coffee until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost as desired and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey experience, top with chocolate ganache or a simple chocolate buttercream frosting.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
