Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder (natural unsweetened preferred)
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients precisely to ensure consistency and help the batter come together smoothly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sifting removes lumps and aerates the mixture, resulting in a lighter cake.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy to incorporate air for a tender crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Gradually add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition for a smooth batter. Stir in vanilla extract for aromatic depth.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk into the butter mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently to maintain airiness.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into greased and floured cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Once cooled, frost, slice, or enjoy plain.

Notes

  • Always use room temperature butter, eggs, and milk for better mixing and texture.
  • Stir the batter only until just combined to avoid a dense cake.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Grease and flour pans well or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
