hersheys chocolate cake recipe, how to make chocolate cake

240 ml cup used

• 2 cups sugar
• 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Cocoa powder (I reduce 2 to 3 tbsps. cocoa)
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• Generous pinch of salt
• 2 large eggs (I use 3 small eggs)
• 1 cup milk (I use whole milk)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use additional 3 tbsps. Oil) (I use melted refined coconut oil)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

1. Grease a cake pan and drizzle some cocoa lightly and evenly.
2. Preheat the oven for at least 15 mins at 170 C
3. Mix well sugar, baking powder, flour, cocoa,baking soda and salt.
4. In another large bowl, add eggs, vanilla,milk, oil,and hot water. Mix
5. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and run the mixer on a medium speed for 2 mins.Batter will be very runny and thats fine.
6. Transfer the batter to the greased pan and bake for 40 to 50 mins. A skewer inserted has to come out clean or with slight crumbles.
7. While baking after 25 mins, you could cover the pan with a foil to prevent the top being over baked while the inside is still undone.
8. once the cake is finished baking, put it out of the oven and leave it for 10 mins in the pan, later transfer to a wire rack. Cool it completely and go ahead frosting
