ONE-BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE

ONE-BOWL CHOCOLATE CAKE
Based on a recipe by Martha Stewart

Mix in a bowl: 3/4 cup dark cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 tsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt. Beat on low speed until just combined.

Add: 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup buttermilk*, 3/4 cup warm water, 3 TBS canola oil, 1 1/2 tsp vanilla. Beat until smooth - about 3 minutes. Batter will be runny.

Divide batter between 2 Baking-Pam-sprayed 8" rounds.

Bake at 350 for about 33-35 minutes. Cool in pans for 15 minutes then remove from pans and finish cooling on wire racks.

Optional - makes 24 cupcakes. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

* to make 3/4 cup buttermilk: put 3/4 tsp lemon juice in a 3/4 cup measuring cup and then fill the rest of the way with milk.
