Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Slowly pour in the boiling water, mixing gently until the batter is smooth and thin.
  6. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now for added texture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef’s Tips

  • For an extra moist cake, wrap it in plastic wrap while it’s still warm and let it sit overnight.
  • Feel free to experiment with different add-ins like nuts or dried fruit for added flavor and texture.
  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
