minutesIngredients
- Cake:
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup raw cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
1 cup hot water
1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
- Frosting:
1 1/2 cups butter (room temp)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup raw cocoa powder
10 tbsp heavy cream
Pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- First, grab a large bowl and mix together the flour, raw cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Blend it all up, then set it aside.
- Next, in another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract until everything’s well combined and smooth.
- Then, slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. After that, add the hot water and stir until the batter is smooth and nicely blended.
- Afterward, pour the batter into a cake pan and pop it into a preheated 180°C (350°F) oven. Bake it for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a bowl, mix the room-temperature butter, powdered sugar, raw cocoa powder, heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it in half, fill with frosting, then spread frosting on top and around the sides.
- Finally, serve your chocolate creation and watch the smiles unfold. This cake is not just a treat; it’s a celebration in every bite!
Notes
- For a moist cake, make sure to let it cool completely before frosting.
- Substitute ingredients: You can use a different type of oil or milk if needed; just adjust accordingly.
- Make it festive: Add sprinkles, fruit, or nuts on top for a fun twist.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
