Equipment
Oven, 9x13-inch pan or two 8- or 9-inch cake pans, large bowls
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Prepare pans (makes one 9x13 sheet cake or two 8- or 9-inch layers) by greasing and flouring (use cocoa powder to avoid white residue).
In a large bowl, stir Group One ingredients together and set aside.
In another large bowl, stir Group Two ingredients together.
Stir Group Two (dry ingredients) into Group One.
It is quite a liquidy batter, so do not be alarmed!
Pour batter into prepared pans (fill no more than 2/3 full).
You may have extra batter, if so make a few cupcakes!
Rap baking pans sharply on the counter to release air bubbles.
Bake at 350 until edges are slightly dry, cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Baking times will vary based on pan size, but check at 40 minutes and continue checking every 5 minutes thereafter.
For cupcakes, check at 15 minutes.
