Time 1h45m

Yield Makes two 9-by-13-inch cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups warm water
6 tablespoons safflower oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-by-13-inch baking pans with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on long sides. Spray parchment. Flour pans, tapping out excess.
  • Sift together cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, buttermilk, water, oil, and vanilla until smooth. Divide batter between pans. Bake, rotating halfway through, until tops of cakes spring back when pressed and a toothpick comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely, then lift cakes from pans using parchment. Remove parchment. Cakes can be wrapped in plastic wrap and kept at room temperature 1 day or refrigerated 2 days.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was really good. It was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was light and fluffy.

This cake was good, but not great. It was a little too sweet for my taste, and the texture was a bit dense.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was grainy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
