👩🍳 Preparation
1️⃣ Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 175°C.Ensure the oven is fully heated before baking for even rise and texture.
- Mix the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in a bowl.Whisk until completely combined to remove any cocoa lumps and distribute leaveners evenly.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla, then whisk.The mixture should start to look smooth and glossy at this stage.
- Finally, add the hot water and mix until smooth.The batter will become very thin—this is expected and results in a softer, moister cake.
- Pour into a greased 8–9-inch (20–22 cm) pan.Smooth the top gently so it bakes evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes and let cool completely.The cake should spring back lightly when touched and pull slightly from the pan edges.
