One Bowl Chocolate Cake

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan (or line with parchment paper).
  2. Mix dry ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients:
    • Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add boiling water:
    • Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal—it helps make the cake super moist.
  5. Bake:
    • Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve:
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Optional: frost with chocolate ganache or dust with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the boiling water.
  • You can also fold in chocolate chips or nuts for texture.
  • This recipe works well for cupcakes too—just reduce baking time to 18–20 minutes.

If you want, I can also share a 5-minute microwave version of this One Bowl Chocolate Cake that’s ready instantly and still moist and chocolatey.

Do you want me to share that version?
