How to Make Elyse's Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup boiling water.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, freeze the cakes overnight for easier frosting.
- Frost and decorate as desired.
