Chocolate Fudge Cake From Scratch

Many cake recipes pass through kitchens, but this particular one from scratch is a winner. It’s easy to make and delicious. If you love chocolate desserts, you’re going to love this one, so get a pen and paper out and start writing down the directions and ingredients you’ll need!

Ingredients:

2½ cup all-purpose flour
1¾ cups sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
¾ tsp. salt
⅔ cup oil
¼ cup buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1½ cups hot water (120°F–130°F)

Directions:

First off, you’re going to want to start by preheating the oven to 350°F and preparing your cake pans with cooking spray.
Then go to the pantry and grab your favorite bowl off the shelf – make sure it’s deep enough. You will mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure you combine everything perfectly.
When that’s done, take your vanilla, buttermilk, and oil and put them right in that same bowl. Keep stirring! Whisk in your hot water and divide between the number of pans.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until you stick a toothpick or fork in and it comes out clean. Cool and frost if you want, and voila!
