How to Cook Moist Chocolate Cake

We will start with making the chocolate cake. First, we have to combine the dry ingredients including the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Sifting the dry ingredients will make sure that it is free of lumps. After combining the dry ingredients, add the liquid ingredients like egg, milk and oil. Mix it to combine.

After mixing, hot water with coffee powder will then be added to the mixture. The hot water will make the chocolate cake sooo moist. The coffee powder will intensify that chocolate flavor, but if you are not into coffee, you may skip adding. Stir the mixture while adding the hot coffee until you get a thin cake batter.

Pour the batter to the baking pan. In this recipe, I used 3 aluminum baking pans with the size of 6 inches by 2 inches. Since I used small round pans, I divided the batter into 3 equal parts.
