Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the sugar until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free but not overmixed.
  5. Pour and bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool before serving: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a wire rack and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to avoid sticking.
  • Allow the cake to cool thoroughly before removing it from the pan to prevent breakage.
  • For added moisture, consider brushing the cake with a simple syrup after baking.
  • Optional: dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate glaze for extra sweetness.
