chill guy cake

going for whatever track this falls under (probably chill guy but any track bc a win is a WIN)

🍰

Why?

🍫 Chill guy and the fact that I wanted chocolate cake.

What it does

it tastes delish

How I built it

🧑‍🍳 Using my Ginny's conventional oven and with extra time during this thanksgiving break, I followed the recipe from add a pinch

The Best Chocolate Cake Recipe {Ever}

2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour

2 cups (396 g) sugar

3/4 cup (63 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons (8 g) baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons (9 g) baking soda

1 teaspoon (2.8 g) kosher salt

1 teaspoon (2.3 g) espresso powder, homemade or store-bought

1 cup (227 g) milk, or buttermilk, almond, or coconut milk

1/2 cup (99 g) vegetable oil, or canola oil, or melted coconut oil

2 large (100 g) eggs

2 teaspoons (9.4 g) vanilla extract

1 cup (227. g) boiling water

Challenges I ran into

🥣 The urge to use a box mix instead of starting from scratch + I don't have standard measuring tools.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
