Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and line them with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar until combined.
- In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in milk and vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Divide the batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice each cake horizontally into two layers. Arrange layers in a circular wreath shape on a platter and decorate with whipped cream or frosting as desired.
