Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
3/4 c hershey's cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs
1 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk
1 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c boiling water

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 300 degrees (THIS IS NOT A TYPO! This is a slow cooking cake recipe)
  • 2. Use shortening to grease pan and lightly flour. Recipe makes 1 13x9 cake. If you are going to layer it, you must double the recipe.
  • 3. Add all dry ingredients and blend
  • 4. Add all liquid ingredients (except the water) and blend till moist.
  • 5. Add boiling water and mix on medium speed until smooth
  • 6. Pour into pan and bake for one hour. Test with knife or toothpick at 45 mins. If comes out clean, cake is done!
  • 7. ALLOW TO COOL! The longer you allow to cool the more flavorful!
  • 8. Ice and Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This means using real butter, not margarine, and using unsweetened cocoa powder, not a cocoa mix. Good quality ingredients will result in a better tasting cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dry cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking a chocolate cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can create a moist, delicious chocolate cake that will be the star of any occasion. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, don't overmix the batter, bake the cake at the right temperature, and let the cake cool completely before frosting it. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a chocolate cake that is so good, you'll never want to buy one from the store again.
