3. Tips for Optimal Results
Prepare: Start off by gathering all your ingredients: sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, cocoa, milk, and vanilla. Preheat the oven to 350° F (177° C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with shortening, dust them with cocoa powder, and lightly flour them.
Mix: Mix the sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Then add butter and mix them together until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth. Then stir in the cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla. Alternately add the milk mixture and the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, making three additions of the milk and two of the dry ingredients. Beat until smooth each time.
Cook: skim the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes, then turn them out of the pans, and cool completely on a wire rack.
:
- Use high-quality ingredients to get the perfect result.
- Beat the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes to increase the lightness and fluffiness of the cake.
- Bake the cakes until toothpick is inserted in the middle comes out clean.
