ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves; then pour into a large bowl.
- Add the chocolate and butter and let sit, stirring occasionally, until melted and slightly cooled. Stir in the vanilla.
- Beat the eggs into the chocolate mixture at medium speed until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients all at once and beat at medium speed until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top springs back when pressed lightly and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in their pans for about 25 minutes, then invert onto a rack to cool completely.
- When completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting, preferably chocolate. (You will need about 3 1/2 cups of frosting.).
