Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

Softened unsalted butter, for pans
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk, room temperature
3/4 cup hot tap water
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
Chocolate Frosting for One-Bowl Chocolate Cake

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 high-quality cocoa powder. The better the cocoa powder, the better the cake will taste. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and has a dark color.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate.
  • For a lighter flavor, use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Add a little bit of espresso powder to the batter for a deeper flavor.
  • Top the cake with your favorite frosting, ganache, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This one-bowl chocolate cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
