How to make Chocolate Cake – Moist  Chocolate Cake  with White Vanilla Icing :

To make Chocolate Cake – Moist  Chocolate Cake:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9 x 13 inch pans and set aside.
2. Combine all the ingredients, except the cup of boiling water into a mixing bowl.

3. Mix at medium or medium high speed  for a  minute, now add 1 cup of boiling water and continue to mix until all ingredients are blended and smooth.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake it for 1 hr or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If not bake it  for an additional 5 minutes and then test again.
6. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes and invert them onto wire rack and let it cool completely before cutting.

Notes :  
  • You can use 1 cup of strong coffee instead of the boiling water. Doing so intensifies the chocolate flavor. If you’re making it for children you might want to stick with the boiling water.

To Make White Vanilla Icing :
1. Place the powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add a little milk.

2. Mix at high speed until smooth and creamy. 
Frost the chocolate cake with Vanilla icing or your desired frosting and Enjoy!

    Hi Geeta, Yes you can substitute 1cup plain yogurt for 1 cup buttermilk or add 1 tbsp white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and they work.Hope this helps!

    I am sorry, I don't know if granulated powder sugar for icing would work right or not…I am not an expert though, but I don't recommend granulated powdered sugar. Since confectioners sugar has a much finer texture and it contains a small amount of cornstarch to prevent caking. I think it may give you unexpected result. correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thanks! Happy Baking!

    Hi ,
    I am planning to make this cake today. Can you please tell me whether granulated powdered sugar can be used for the icing part?
