Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Coca Cola (regular)
  • 4 ounces melted semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans with butter or nonstick spray, then lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure there are no clumps and to help with an even rise.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and Coca Cola until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Wet into Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, folding gently until just combined to keep the batter light and airy.
  5. Add Melted Chocolate: Fold in the melted semi-sweet chocolate carefully, spreading its gooey richness evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake Your Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Frost: Let the cakes cool completely before frosting with your choice of chocolate frosting or ganache for the perfect finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense or tough cake.
  • Melt chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts to prevent burning.
  • Use fresh cocoa powder for more vibrant chocolate flavor and color.
  • Test cake doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center rather than the edges for accuracy.
