One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Recipe

I did it for a group of starving children of university age. Instant blow! My whole house smelled of chocolate. It was so amazing!

Ingredients

for the cake:

• 1 large egg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup buttermilk see note
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup hot water

for the frosting:

• 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
• 1.25 cup powdered sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

First, Line an 8 "square or round cake pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Then, Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, soda, yeast and salt. Add egg, oil and buttermilk and whisk well. Add hot water and whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan. Tap gently against the counter to release the air bubbles.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes OR until toothpick inserted in a few places comes out clean.

Cool and glaze while waiting.

To make the icing, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk. Cook 2 minutes. Do not boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the caster sugar and beat. Add vanilla and milk, one tablespoon at a time. The glaze should be shiny and smooth. Pour over hot cake and spread with a spatula. Let cool before cutting. Happy Cooking TimeJ
