Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Buttercream Frosting: 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans. Dust lightly with cocoa powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Create a well in the dry mixture and add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about two minutes).
