Chocolate Frosting for One-Bowl Chocolate Cake

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter round or square cake pans, and line bottoms with parchment; butter parchment, and dust with cocoa.
  • Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, stir in eggs, 1 1/2 cups warm water, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake, rotating once, until tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes for 8-inch layers, depending on amount of batter.
  • Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely, right side up on rack.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. It was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was light and airy. I would definitely make this again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The texture was perfect and the frosting was really creamy. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the frosting was really good. I would probably add more milk or water to the batter next time.
