AMAZON CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350° F. 2. Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Sift. In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, oil, vanilla, and vinegar. 3. Whisk together the wet and dry mixtures. If lumpy, whisk until smooth, or pour through strainer in to a bowl and break up lumps, pressing them through. 4. Mix again, and pour into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Tap the edge of the pan against the edge of the counter, or drop from 6 inches to the floor several times to pop air bubbles. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed gently. 5. Cool before removing from the pan and dusting with confectioners' sugar, or frosting if desired.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help your cake batter mix more evenly and bake more evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making your cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from falling.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
