Steps To Make Chocolate Cake

Step 1: Make sure to bring all the ingredients before starting to bake.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 3: Take two 9-inch cake pans and butter and flour them with perfection. It is so important to prevent any mess afterward.

Step 4: Line the base of both pans with parchment better, as it helps the cake release better and easily.

Step 5: Take a large mixing bowl and sift sugar, cocoa powder, and flour together. Keep your hands moving at a constant and slow speed so that everything mixes well.

Step 6: Add baking powder, soda, and salt in the same bowl and mixture. Whisk again until everything is mixed well.

Step 7: Take another bowl and whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and oil. Slowly add the boiling water and keep whisking so that the mixture gets a perfect texture and there are no lumps.

Step 8: Add the mixture of the second bowl (milk, eggs, oil, vanilla, and boiling water) to the mixture of the first bowl (sugar, cocoa powder, and flour) and constantly stir until the mixture is smooth.

Step 9: Now, pour the batter into the pre-prepared cake pans equally. Insert toothpicks in both cake pans and transfer to the oven.

Step 10: Bake for about 30 minutes. But you should start testing the cake after 27 minutes in the oven in order to avoid over-baking. The chocolate cake is baked perfectly if the toothpick comes out clean or with a crumb or two.

Step 11: Take out the cake pans and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Release the cake from the pans on a wire rack using a knife and let them cool for 1 hour.

Step 12: Cut out the perfectly leveled layers of cake using a sharp knife. Make sure not to try too hard to slice through, as it can ruin the cake.

Step 13: Place a layer on the cake stand and first with chocolate frosting. Repeat until all the layers are placed, and then cover the cake with frosting for a simple chocolate cake.
