How to Make Gourmet Chocolate Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and boiling water to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and buttermilk. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 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 the cakes are completely cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
