This is the Ultimate One-Bowl, Moist, and Fudgy Chocolate Cake Recipe. You can make this rich, deep chocolate cake easily in one bowl. It delivers superior texture and flavor, perfect for any celebration or simple craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or hot brewed coffee

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line a 9×13 inch pan.
  2. In a very large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about two minutes until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Carefully pour the hot water or hot coffee into the batter. Mix on low speed until just combined. The batter will be very thin; this is correct.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes for layer cakes, or 35 to 40 minutes for a 9×13 pan, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Using hot coffee instead of hot water deepens the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee.
  • Buttermilk reacts with the baking soda for extra lift and moisture. If you do not have buttermilk, add one tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of regular milk and let stand for five minutes.
  • This recipe works well for cupcakes; bake for 18-22 minutes.
  • Chef Tariq suggests using high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor result.
