Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 100g dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs then add milk, melted butter, and melted chocolate. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined without overmixing, ensuring a tender cake.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.

Notes

  • For extra fudginess, do not overbake; check the cake a few minutes before the end time.
  • You can frost the cake with your favorite chocolate ganache or buttercream for added indulgence.
  • Room temperature eggs and milk will help create a smooth batter.
  • Use good quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best flavor.
  • This cake freezes well; wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
