👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the oven
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8–9 inch cake pan.
2️⃣ Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Add wet ingredients
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix gently until combined.
4️⃣ Add hot liquid
Slowly stir in hot water (or coffee). The batter will be thin—this is normal 👍
5️⃣ Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool & serve
Let the cake cool completely before slicing for perfect texture.
💡 Pro Tips
✨ Use hot coffee instead of water for a deeper chocolate flavor
✨ Room-temperature eggs & milk give a softer crumb
✨ Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence
