Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial for ensuring a perfectly baked cake! While the oven is heating, I like to prepare my cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. This way, I ensure my delicious creation comes out smoothly once it’s baked. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix them well until everything is evenly distributed.
