Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease my Bundt pan with cooking spray or butter to ensure that the cake comes out easily. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stirring these dry ingredients together fills my kitchen with a comforting chocolate aroma that gets me excited for what’s to come. Once they’re well combined, I add in the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing everything until it’s smooth and well incorporated. A nice, rich batter forms, and it looks so inviting!
