Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in eggs, buttermilk, water, vanilla, and oil.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack, remove parchment, then turn top-side up (to prevent sticky tops from sticking to rack); let cool completely.
- Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over top of one cooled cake layer. Top with remaining layer. Spread a thin coat (about 1 cup) of frosting over top and sides of cake to create a "crumb coat." Refrigerate about 20 minutes, then frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. (For a more refined look, trim domed top of cake flat before layering and frosting.)
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help ensure your cake comes out smooth and moist.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then use it in the recipe.
- This cake can be made ahead of time. Bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
This easy one-bowl chocolate cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's moist, chocolatey, and delicious. Plus, it's easy to make and doesn't require any special ingredients. So next time you're in the mood for a chocolate cake, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
