My Favorite Chocolate Cake Recipe {from Scratch}



Because I get asked so often and because a lot of my website visitor search for "chocolate cake recipes", I finally put up a tutorial of how to make chocolate cake from scratch together with my favorite recipe.

It is basically a butter cake that replaces milk with a rich cocoa-water mixture.

Here is the recipe.

Chocolate Cake from Scratch

1/2 c + 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (lightly spooned)
1 c boiling water
3 large eggs
2 1/4 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 c + 2 tbsp sifted cake flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 c unsalted butter (softened)
