Deep, Dark Chocolate Cake

Rich, moist and so addicting!

2 cups sugar
1¾ cups flour
¾ cup black cocoa
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease a Bundt pan and set aside.


Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda.
Add sugar and whisk well.
Add eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla, and whisk together well.
Add boiling water and stir well. The batter will be thin.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes.
Let sit for a minute before removing from the pan to cool.
When completely cool, frost with our Smooth Chocolate Frosting recipe, and enjoy!

In our house, everyone gets to pick their birthday dinner and cake. And 4 out of 6 kids always pick this one!

Now, what happens to the cake is almost always different, but the cake remains the same! Zac likes his chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, Nick likes his with Kit Kats, Jason likes his stuffed with raspberry filling, and this one, with the peanut butter cups, well, that belonged to Josh today!

One cake, so many delicious possibilities!

I hope you enjoy it!
