How Do You Bake A Good Birthday Cake?
Depends what you think is a good cake. I like chocolate cake, so here is a wonderful chocolate cake recipe. It’s extremely easy, uses oil instead of butter, so it stays light and moist: 1 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 3/4 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 4 eggs 2 cups water* Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9” baking pans. Mix all dry ingredients in large bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in another bowl. Ad wet ingredients to dry and beat until just smooth; do not overbeat. Pour evenly into pans; batter will be thin. Bake for approximately 25-35 minutes or until a clean toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. * You can substitute up to half of the water with milk, buttermilk (makes a richer cake), or even some coffee, if you choose. Happy Baking!
