Chocolate cake is easy to make. It is truly delicious and moist. I think the chocolate frosting enhances the cake’s taste. It stays moist and can be kept for over 5 days. A small amount of leveling is used in this cake so that everything is even.

This cake looks beautiful with chocolate frosting. All the ingredients used in this cake are of good quality and measured accurately. The flour used in this cake does not need to be rich, but it must be measured carefully, and I use a scale for accuracy.  

I use pure vanilla extract, which produces a nice flavor, and high-quality cocoa powder to enhance the taste. You can try this recipe at home for a new experience or taste

How To Make Chocolate Cake

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab two 9-inch pans and spray some butter on the pans and use parchment paper so that the cake easily comes out.

Step 2: In a large bowl, add 2 cups (240g) of flour, 2 cups (400g) of granulated sugar, half a cup (50g) of cocoa powder, 1 ½ tsp of baking powder, and 1 ½ tsp of baking soda. Baking soda needs acid to react.

Cocoa powder has acid, which will react with the baking soda and baking powder. Now add ½ tsp of salt to balance the cake’s taste. Sift all the ingredients together, mix them well, and set them aside.

Step 3: Boil some water in a kettle. In a medium bowl, add half a cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup (240 ml) of whole milk, and 1 tbsp of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, then add 2 large eggs and mix properly.

Now, take the dry mixture and combine it with the wet mixture, whisking until smooth. Then, slowly add 1 cup of boiling water and mix gently.

The batter is ready to divide into two pans. Pour about 700 grams of batter into each 9-inch pan. Now Bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes.

Now Bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes.

Step 4: In a cup, add 1 ½ cups (338g) of unsalted butter at room temperature and mix it with a hand mixer. Add a quarter cup (25g) of cocoa powder and mix again. Now add ¼ tsp of salt and continue mixing.

Gradually add 6 cups (680g) of powdered sugar and 1 tbsp of milk, alternating between the two. Finally, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix well. Now the chocolate frosting is ready.

Final Step: Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool.

Place the first layer of the cake on a plate, spread the chocolate frosting over it, then place the second layer on top. At the moment, decorate the cake with frosting . Now the cake is ready to serve.

Chocolate Cake Storage Procedure:

If you need to store the cake, ensure that its texture and flavor are preserved. You can normally store your cake for up to 5 days.

 If you need to store it for more than 6 days, refrigerate it for 8-10 days using an airtight container or aluminum foil.

For longer storage, you can freeze it for about 2-3 months using an airtight container or a safe bag. In the case of longer storage, do not frost the cake, as it may damage the texture. Frost the cake just before serving and bring it to room temperature.
