Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup boiling water
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan. Dust lightly with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter forms and no streaks of flour remain.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the boiling water, a little at a time, while stirring. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist cake.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to add bursts of melted chocolate to the cake.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, for a simple and elegant garnish. Slice and serve!
