How to Make Soft And Fluffy Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 100g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter. Whisk in 50g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder and 150ml (2/3 cup) milk until smooth and combined. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 150g (1 cup) granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 150g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the melted chocolate mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and enjoy!
