Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute these ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in milk, vegetable oil, the egg, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture until everything is well blended and no dry flour remains.
- Incorporate boiling water: Carefully add the boiling water to the batter, stirring gently until smooth. This step thins out the batter and ensures a moist cake.
- Pour and bake: Pour the well-mixed batter into the prepared baking pan. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to measure ingredients accurately for the best texture.
- Use boiling water carefully to avoid burns and to achieve the perfect batter consistency.
- For an extra moist cake, you can substitute milk with buttermilk.
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
