Moist Chocolate Cake

It is the time of the year where the school is having a welcome back to school cum meet the teachers BBQ evening for the new school year. Parents are asked to bring a dessert for the event while the BBQ is free, donation is welcome to cover the cost of food.

I decided to make Nanzaro’s favourite chocolate cake. It is a very moist, eggless chocolate cake. I usually made this cake for my kids birthday party.

Ingredients

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons white vinegar
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) oil
a handful of semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Sift the dry ingredients i.e. flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. If without the cocoa powder, I would just use a whisk to mix the ingredients. But cocoa powder tends to be lumpy and it is recommended to sift it for any recipe.

Whisk the sugar and wet ingredients, i.e water, vanilla, vinegar and oil in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix well.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured or parchment lined 9 x 13″ pan.Sprinkle a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips on the batter for garnishing. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The cake will be slightly moist when tested with a tooth pick.

This is a very simple recipe which pleases any chocolate cake lovers. Will you bake it for your family?

For those of you who do not have an oven or try to avoid the oven in the hot summer, I have a version of this cake which is steamed. Check out the Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake here.
