How to Make Best Ever Chocolate Cake Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm round baking tin. Line the base with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, cream together 170g softened unsalted butter, 200g granulated sugar, and 50g sifted powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add 4 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of your favorite jam (e.g., raspberry or strawberry). Beat until well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 150ml milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
