Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line with parchment).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Sugar
Cocoa powder
Baking soda
Salt
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Whisk in eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour in Hot Liquid
Slowly stir in hot water (or coffee) until fully combined.
⚠️ Batter will be thin—that’s normal! This ensures a light, moist crumb.
5. Bake to Perfection
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
✨ Edges should pull away slightly from the pan.
6. Cool & Serve
Cool in pan 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Serve warm with ice cream—or fully cooled with your favorite topping.
