Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add to dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- For the frosting, whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, spreading half of the frosting on top before adding the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with remaining whipped cream.
