Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature 2 sticks, room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cups Granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs Large eggs room temperature
  • 1tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Whole milk room temperature
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  • Combine Mixtures: Alternate between adding the sifted flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined each time.
  • Pour and Smooth: Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan (or loaf pan if you don't have a bundt) and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  • Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift it out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and Serve: Once the cake has cooled completely, slice it and enjoy!
