Whether you’re making chocolate cake for a birthday, special occasion, or just to satisfy your sweet tooth, this simple chocolate cake recipe is perfect for any occasion. This classic chocolate cake recipe is easy to make and produces a cake that is moist and delicious.

Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients to make this delicious chocolate cake:

1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
1 cup of softened butter
2 cups of white sugar
3 eggs
1 cup of buttermilk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup of chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute with 1 cup of milk plus 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before using.

For a delicious twist, try adding ½ cup of peanut butter chips, or ½ cup of chopped toasted almonds or hazelnuts. You can also sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
