Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and decorate for Halloween.

Notes

  • For an even richer chocolate flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
  • Ensure your boiling water is very hot for the best texture.
  • This cake is wonderful on its own or with a rich chocolate ganache.
  • Decorate with Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible decorations.
