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 :
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure your cake comes out nicely.
-
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
-
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.
-
Carefully stir in the boiling water. It might look thin, but that’s totally fine!
-
If you want even more chocolate, fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Divide the batter evenly into your prepared cake pans.
-
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.
-
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
