One of the best "scratch" chocolate cakes that I have ever had. Any vegetable oil will work, just seems that Wesson Oil works best. Great with Mom's Chocolate Frosting.

Provided by tsuthers

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 1 2-layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup Wesson Oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup water (boiling)

Steps:

  • Mix together all the dry ingredients. Add eggs, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add boiling water and mix well.
  • Pour into 2 9-inch cake pans well greased and floured.
  • Bake 30-45 minutes at 350. DO NOT OVERBAKE.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding to the batter: This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • 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: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This Wesson Oil Coconut Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb and a sweet coconut frosting. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
