Rich And Delicious Chocolate Cake
- 1-3/4 cup Flour
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3/4 cups Baking Cocoa (dutch Process Or Dark Chocolate If You Prefer A Darker Chocolate Taste)
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cups Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 cups Hot, Strong Brewed Coffee (may Need An Up To An Additional 1/4 Cup)
- Heat oven to 350u0b0F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or one 13x9 inch pan. (I don't always flour my pans, but that could have to do with my climate. Also, if you flour with cocoa, the cake will look prettier. And it's probably healthier for ya too.
- In a large mixer bowl, stir together dry ingredients (flour through salt). Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in coffee by hand (batter will be thin). I use a full cup of coffee usually, but I live in an extremely dry climate. If you are blessed with frizzy hair climate, 3/4 cup would probably work. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes for round 9-inch pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pans or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not use 8-inch pans or the batter will overflow.). If you are using a glass pan, you will probably need to add some additional time.
- Cool for 10 minutes; remove from the pan to wire racks. Frost as desired (buttercream, anyone?). Enjoy!
