Barefoot Contessa Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This Barefoot Contessa chocolate cake recipe is an easy and delicious treat. It requires basic ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. You will need: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 1 cup boiling water.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add the oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Finally, add the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth and glossy. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before carefully turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost the cooled cakes with your favorite icing or try this delicious chocolate frosting recipe.
