Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (402 g) sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1.7 cups (410 ml) boiling water or hot coffee
- 1 cup (100 g) cocoa powder
- 2.5 cups (350 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Sift your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
- Boil water or prepare a strong hot coffee. Pour your hot water (or coffee) onto your cocoa and mix together until cocoa dissolves completely. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cream your butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add your eggs to your sugar mixture, one at a time, and continue whisking at low speed until incorporated. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add your dry ingredients alternatively with your warm water/cocoa or water/coffee mixture. Begin by adding dry, then alternate with wet. Add dry in four parts, and wet in three.
- Spray your pans with baking spray and fill with batter. Tap them on the table to knock out the air.
- Bake at 350 F for 35-40 m or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 min before removing from the tin onto a wire cooling rack.
