How to Make Chocolatetown Special Cake Chocolate Cake
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup boiling water until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the 1 cup buttermilk to the creamed mixture, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently stir in the cooled cocoa mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost with your choice of icing (recipe #261024 or #95416 recommended).
