Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 cup (41g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature*
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable or canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk, at room temperature*
Chocolate Buttercream or Vanilla Buttercream
sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until combined. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently whisk for a few seconds. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thin.
  • Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill only halfway (this is imperative! only halfway!) to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking.
  • Bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting. I usually let them cool in the pan.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes however you'd like. I used chocolate buttercream and Wilton 1M piping tip for these pictured cupcakes. Top with sprinkles, if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

This is the most moist chocolate cake I have ever had. This is another recipe that was handed down through the generations from my husband side of the family. The ingredients are strange, but put them together and WOW! I have never met a human on earth who doesn't love this cake.

Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups flour
6 tablespoons Nestles Quik (chocolate milk mix)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 cups water (cold or room temp.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix together dry ingredients.
  • Mix in all wet ingredients and blend on medium speed until smooth. (Batter will be very runny).
  • Pour into ungreased 13x9 pan or 2 9x9 pans or cupcake tins.
  • Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes for 13x9 pan.
  • 20 to 25 minutes for 9x9 pans.
  • 25 to 30 minutes for cupcakes.
  • Note: You will know the cake is done when you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Sometimes with the 13x9 pan, I take it out when it's still a little squishy in the middle. It will finish baking while it cools.
  • This cake is VERY moist, so don't over bake it!
  • Frosting options from zaar:.
  • Recipe #33520.
  • Recipe #103762 (I use the coffee frosting from this recipe - it's always a big hit).
  • You can just make the peanut butter frosting recipe with no peanut butter and it will just be a plain butter cream frosting if you wish.
