Ingredients

• All-purpose flour: 1 1/2 cups
• Granulated sugar: 1 cup
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons
• Teaspoon baking powder: 2
• Teaspoon salt: 1
• Unsalted butter, at room temperature: 1/2 cup
• Large eggs, at room temperature: 2
• Whole milk, at room temperature: 1/2 cup
• Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and eggs until light and fluffy.

Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix! Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost and decorate them as desired.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients, as this will ensure that your cake turns out light and fluffy.

Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.

Don’t overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.

If you want to ensure your cakes are even, weigh them to make sure they’re the same size.

For a moist and delicious cake, don’t overbake.

Check the cakes after 25 minutes and every 2-3 minutes thereafter.

Let the cakes cool completely before frosting and decorating, as this will prevent melting or smudging.
