Super Easy Chocolate Cake

There was one night when I was craving for something chocolate-ty. Asked Mr. Google and found this easy and yummy chocolate cake from Every With Rachael Ray's website. This recipe is not only easy to do, the ingredients are most likely already in your pantry. So, here it goes. Enjoy :-)

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
7 tablespoons unsweetened (non-Dutch process) natural cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Procedure

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan; line the bottom with parchment paper and grease the paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center, add the eggs and milk and whisk gently to make a thick batter; whisk vigorously 30 to 40 times. Whisk in the melted butter and vanilla just until smooth. Scrape into the prepared pan.
3. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes; invert onto the rack, remove the pan and parchment paper and invert again. Let cool completely.

The original recipe calls for dusting of confectioners sugar after cooling the cake. I did not have any at that time. I skipped it. The cake is yummy even without it.

Thanks, Rachael Ray :-)
