One Bowl Moist Chocolate Cake

It doesn’t get better than this ultra-moist, rich chocolate cake! My go-to recipe for birthdays, dinner parties, or simply indulging. The best part? You only need one bowl and no electric mixer!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (20 mL) white vinegar
  • ¾ cup (190 mL) canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (120 g) caster sugar
  • 1 cup (150 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon (16 g) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • ½ cup (125 mL) boiling coffee or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C / 320°F (fan) or 180°C / 355°F (standard). Grease and line a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake tin with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Add the oil, eggs, brown sugar, and caster sugar to the milk mixture. Whisk until combined.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt over the wet ingredients, then whisk until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in the boiling coffee (or water) until the batter is well mixed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and place it in the lower half of the oven. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:

  • Metric vs. US Measurements: Use weight (grams) for the best results if converting from metric to US cups.
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use buttermilk instead of milk and vinegar, and white sugar instead of caster sugar if needed.
