How to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

Let’s get started on making this mouth-watering cake!

Ingredients :

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (for added chocolate flavor, optional)

Directions :

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure your cake comes out nicely.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.

  3. Add in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat them together on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.

  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water. It might look thin, but that’s totally fine!

  5. If you want even more chocolate, fold in the chocolate chips.

  6. Divide the batter evenly into your prepared cake pans.

  7. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. Once cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!

How to Serve Triple Chocolate Cake

Serve this cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a treat that everyone will love! It’s also great on its own. Cut into slices and watch your family and friends enjoy every bite!

How to Store Triple Chocolate Cake

You can store any leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week.

Tips to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

  • Measure your ingredients accurately for the best results.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting to avoid melting your topping.
  • If you don’t have chocolate chips, you can skip them or use nuts instead!

Variation

You can add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for an extra treat or switch the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a fun blend!

FAQs
