Ingredients
2 cups of wheat flour
1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
2 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a round cake tin approximately 23 cm in diameter with butter or oil and sprinkle with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Make sure they are well matched. - Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
Beat with a mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until you get a homogeneous mass. - Reduce the mixer speed and add the boiling water to the dough.
Mix well, as the dough will be quite liquid, but this is normal. - Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Then transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving. - If you wish, you can decorate the cake with a frosting of your choice, such as chocolate ganache, whipped cream or brigadeiro.
