Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or strong brewed coffee

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan and line with parchment. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir in hot water or coffee until smooth.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry. Whisk just until no flour is visible. A few lumps are okay.
  4. Pour batter into the pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely, then slice and serve.

Notes

Weigh your flour if you can; too much flour will dry the cake out. For a deeper chocolate flavor, use hot brewed coffee instead of water. The cake keeps well at room temperature for several days.
