Chocolate Cake 🎂

 Here's a basic recipe for chocolate cake for you:

  Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  
• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

For the chocolate frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Guidelines:       

1. Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Butter and dust two 9-inch circular cake pans.
2. Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a big mixing basin.
3. To the dry ingredients, add milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence. Blend until thoroughly blended.
4. Add boiling water little by little until the batter is smooth. It's acceptable that the batter will be thin.
5. Fill the cake pans with the batter, spreading it out evenly.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, in a preheated oven.
7. After taking the cakes out of the oven, give them ten minutes or so to cool in the pans. After that, move them to wire racks to finish cooling.

Regarding the chocolate icing:

1. Creamy-looking butter should be beaten in a medium-sized bowl.
2. While beating, gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk.
3. Add vanilla essence and stir until creamy and smooth. A spoonful at a time, you can add more milk to the frosting if it's too thick until you have the right consistency.
4. After the cakes are totally cold, cover one cake layer with an even amount of frosting. After putting the second cake layer on top, frost the cake's edges and top.

Sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or any other toppings you choose can be used to garnish the cake. Savor the delectable chocolate cake you created yourself!
