Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Hot water
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
5. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake has cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
