Chocolate cake


Chocolate is a human's best friend. No exceptions.

When I first came across this recipe, I was skeptical, thanks to all the pop up ads that irritated the hell out of me. I was relatively good at making chocolate cake but the picture on this website (http://www.bestmoistchocolatecakerecipe.com/) was the most delicious thing I'd ever seen.

So delicious that I doubted whether what I made would ever look like that. But the end result was so good that even though it was 1 AM in the morning when I finished making it, tired and grumpy (emergency birthday cake), I had tears in my eyes. It was that beautiful. Not only was it beautiful but it melted in my mouth when I took a bite.

So here is the divine God sent chocolate cake recipe. Don't take it for granted ;D. :

Ingredients:

-2 Cups Flour
-2 Cups Sugar
-¾ Cup Hershey's Cocoa (I used regular cocoa and it turned out just fine)
-2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
-2 large eggs (I used 3 medium ones)
-1 Teaspoon Salt
-1 Cup Buttermilk (HOW TO MAKE IT : 1 cup of milk. Add 1 tbsp vinegar and stir fast)
-1 Cup oil
-1 ½ Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
-1 Cup Boiling Water (Mixing the other ingredients first and then adding water and mixing made it easier to mix.)

Method : (So easy, even kids can do it)


# Preheat Oven to 300° F
(This is not a typo! This is a slow bake chocolate cake recipe.)
# Grease and coat baking dish in butter and then loose flour.
9 x 13 in. Baking Dish. (It's a one layer chocolate cake!)
# Place all the ingredients into a mixing bowl.
# Mix at medium or medium high speed until all ingredients are blended and smooth.
# Pour into greased and floured baking dish
# Bake for 1 hr.
# Test by sticking with knife. If it comes out clean, it's done!
# Allow to cool.


The website also gives a recipe for icing that goes well with the cake but I didn't bother making it. You should try it though.
