: What type of cocoa do you use, Jeff? Thanks for posting this recipe.  


: If you need an a quick and easy chocolate cake, or just want to try scratch baking, try this one.  I've been working on tweaking it for a while and it makes a good cake and it's super easy to put together....dump everything in a bowl and mix!  I like to use baking strips with my pans and this one baked very high and level.


Jeff's Easy Chocolate Cake

2 cups plain flour
1 teaspooon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 325 F.  Grease, line with parchment, then grease and flour two 8 inch layer pans.

Place flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa and sugar in mixing bowl and whisk well to combine dry ingredients.

Add eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla and mix on low until combined, then mix at medium speed for 1 minute.

Pour into pans and bake until layers spring back when lightly touched near the center.  

Cool in pans 5 - 10 minutes, then remove and wrap completely in plastic wrap until ready to use.
