How to Make 100 Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup buttermilk. Mix well.
  3. Add 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup mayonnaise. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  7. While cakes cool, prepare your favorite filling (e.g., chocolate pudding, whipped cream).
  8. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with filling, top with the second layer, and frost the entire cake with Grandma's Fudge Frosting.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, especially if using a pudding filling.
