Decadent Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

Ingredients

- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Cake Pans
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until well combined and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.

5. Incorporate Buttermilk and Oil
Gradually add the buttermilk and vegetable oil to the wet mixture. Mix well on low speed until smooth.

6. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender cake.

7. Pour Batter into Pans
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

8. Bake the Cakes
Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool the Cakes
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
