Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) Coca Cola (regular)
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare your oven and pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sugar. Stir well to combine evenly, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, Coca Cola, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Incorporate wet and dry ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently but thoroughly. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips so they disperse evenly throughout the batter, promising gooey pockets of chocolate in every slice.
  6. Bake the cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and frost: Allow the cakes to cool completely on wire racks before frosting with your choice of chocolate frosting or ganache to enhance the double chocolate experience.

Notes

  • Measure flour carefully using the spoon-and-level method to prevent a dry, dense cake.
  • Use room temperature eggs, butter, and buttermilk for better mixing and texture.
  • Use regular Coca Cola for proper moisture and flavor; avoid diet versions.
  • Always sift cocoa powder and flour to remove lumps and improve batter consistency.
  • Begin testing for doneness 5 minutes before the recommended baking time to avoid overbaking.
