    📝 The Ingredients:
    Dried Ingredients
    • Granulated sugar: 400g | 14.1oz (2 US cups)
    • All-purpose flour: 215g | 7.6oz (1 2/3 US cups)
    • Cocoa powder: 100g | 3.5oz (2/3 + 1/6 US cups)
    • Baking soda: 2 tsp
    • Baking powder: 1 tsp
    • Salt: 1/2 tsp
    Wet Ingredients
    • Whole milk: 300g | 10.5oz (1 & 1/4 US cup)
    • White Vinegar: 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp (20g)
    • Egg: 2 (100g | 3.5oz)
    • Oil: 125g | 4.4oz (1/2 US cup + 1 Tbsp)
    • Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
    • Unsalted butter: 56g | 2oz (1/2 US stick)
    • Hot water: 300g | 10.5oz (1 & 1/4 US cup)
    🔥 Bake at 350F/176C until the center bounces back gently or a toothpick comes off clean:
    3 8” pans: for about 30 minutes
    Regular cupcakes: 16-18 minutes
    *Adjust the time and temperature depending on the oven and the size & thickness of your cake.
    * The cake is fragile while it’s still hot. I advise you not to flip the pan vigorously while it’s still hot.

    I love listening to your voice. It's friendly and very inviting. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. The best part is listing both metric AND English measurements in the ingredients which is a definite plus. Many UA-cam recipes don't. America doesn't use metrics, so again, thank you. Happy New Year.

    Your recipe is very similar to the one I developed, with a few differences. I use cake flour, 95g more oil (for an extra fudgy texture) and I use hot coffee instead of water to bloom the cocoa then mix it with the wet ingredients.

    • @annchovy6
      @annchovy6 Рік тому +9

      I typically use coffee for this type of cake, too. My all-time favorite chocolate cake is one made with unsweetened chocolate, sour cream, and coffee. It’s nice to have options with cocoa powder, too, though.
