START MAKING YOUR OWN HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CAKE NOW:
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then, in a large mixing bowl, put the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix it all together.
Next, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and eggs into the dry ingredients.
Once the eggs are fully incorporated, pour the hot water into the ingredients and mix it together well.
NOTE: The batter will seem runnier than most cake batters, but it will work out don’t worry!
Now, grease your 9×13 baking pan and pour the chocolate cake batter into the pan.
Place the pan into the oven and bake it for 33-38 minutes or until you can poke a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
Then once the cake is done, let it cool completely. This will usually take more than an hour. If it is still warm when you put on the frosting, it could melt off or make the frosting texture crystalize. Once it has been cooled and frosted, you can then top it with your favorite sprinkles if you desire!
You could also do your favorite candy bar or dessert treat crumbled on top. We like Oreos, Reese’s, Snickers, Kit Kats, etc. You know if it has chocolate, it’s going in my mouth!
Now just slice, serve, and enjoy!
