Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray or butter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until creamy. Add eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract and mix until fluffy. Gradually pour in the milk while mixing gently.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top if desired. Serve slices warm or at room temperature.
