Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup hot water
• 1 cup soy-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Pour in the hot water and gently mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, which is perfectly fine.

Step 7

Fold in the soy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting with your favorite soy-free frosting.
