Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the hot water to the batter and stir until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and place them on wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite frosting and serve. Enjoy!
