How to Bake Devil's Food Cake With Cocoa

Devil's Food Cake is a rich, chocolate cake that is a favorite among chocolate lovers. Here's how you can bake a delicious Devil's Food Cake with cocoa:

Ingredients: - 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour - 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 cups of granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons of baking soda - 1 teaspoon of baking powder - 1 teaspoon of salt - 1 cup of buttermilk - 1/2 cup of vegetable oil - 2 large eggs - 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract - 1 cup of hot water

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray, and then line the bottoms with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and then use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients on medium speed until smooth and well combined.

4. Carefully stir in the hot water, and then mix until the batter is smooth and liquidy.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans, and then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Once the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.

7. After 10 minutes, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate buttercream, whipped cream, or cream cheese frosting.

9. Slice and serve the cake, and enjoy!

Tips: - To make the cake extra moist, you can substitute the hot water with hot coffee. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately to ensure the best results. - You can add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolate flavor and texture.
