Chocolate Cake
Yield: Serves 8
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • pinch of salt
  • powdered sugar, for garnish
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Set the flour mixture aside.

Beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract with a electric mixer in a mixing bowl until smooth.

Slowly add the flour mixture and milk, and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.

Grease a round cake pan. Dust with flour. Spoon the mixture into the pan.

Bake in the oven until toothpick or skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 50-55 minutes.

Remove from oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the edges to loosen. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
