Yield 1 layer cake, 1 sheet cake or 30 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup hot tap water

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vinegar and vanilla. Increase the speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the hot water until smooth.
  • Turn this one-bowl chocolate cake batter into three different desserts.
  • Layer Cake:
  • Brush two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil, line with parchment, then brush with more oil and dust with flour.
  • Divide the batter between the pans; tap against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cakes comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto racks to cool completely; discard the parchment.
  • Sheet Cake:
  • Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil and brush with vegetable oil.
  • Pour the batter into the pan; tap against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • Cupcakes:
  • Line 30 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling them about halfway. Tap the pans against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the cupcakes comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding some extra milk next time.

This cake is a bit dense for my taste, but it's still very good.
