Hershey Perfectly Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
To make the Hershey perfectly chocolate cake, you will need the following ingredients: 2 cups granulated sugar, 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 cup boiling water.
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. Then, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Next, add the boiling water to the batter and mix until smooth. Finally, pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Assembly
Allow the cake to cool completely before attempting to assemble. Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite Hershey's chocolate frosting. For an extra special touch, top the cake with chocolate shavings.
