AMAZON CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350° F. 2. Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Sift. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. 3. Whisk together the wet and dry mixtures. If lumpy, whisk until smooth, or pour through strainer in to a bowl and break up lumps, pressing them through. 4. Mix again, and pour into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Tap the edge of the pan against the edge of the counter, or drop from 6 inches to the floor several times to pop air bubbles. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed gently. 5. Cool before removing from the pan and dusting with confectioners' sugar, or frosting if desired.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, which makes the cake lighter and more tender.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This helps prevent the eggs from curdling and keeps the batter smooth.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This helps ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This helps prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
