How to Make Just Another Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup boiling water, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the cocoa to bloom.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then add the cocoa mixture and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting (Kittencals frosting recipe #89207 recommended!).
