Cheesecake Factory Linda's Chocolate Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This delectable chocolate cake recipe is based on a recipe created by Linda the founder of The Cheesecake Factory. For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- 2 eggs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two 8-inch round baking pans with baking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, milk, and eggs. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Add the boiling water and mix until the mixture is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are cooled, it's time to assemble the cake. Place one layer of the cake on a plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top. Place the second layer of cake on top of the first and spread a thin layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
Frosting
To make the frosting, simply mix together the butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until you get a creamy consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to thin it out. Spread the frosting on top of the cake and enjoy!
