Chocolate Chocolate Cake
Everything goes into one bowl.
The hardest part is melting the chocolate.
This recipe has two types of chocolate
I used Dutch Processed Cocoa.
For a lighter color and flavor use regular cocoa.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups AP Flour
- 1 1/4 cups Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 cup Cocoa
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 1/4 cup Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs
- 2 sticks Butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 oz Bittersweet Chocolate Bar
Instructions
- Melt chocolate. Chocolate should be cooled down a little before adding to cake batter. If hot it will cook the eggs prematurely.

- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, put all ingredients into a mixing bowl.
- Gently stir ingredients with spatula, until flour and cocoa are just combined.
- Using paddle attachment mix for about 3 minutes on HIGH speed, scraping the bowl after 2 minutes.
- Evenly place batter into cake pans and level batter with spatula.
