How to Make One-Bowl Chocolate Cake
It truly couldn't be easier to make this chocolate cake — just mix the ingredients and bake! You'll find the full recipe below, but here's a brief overview of what you can expect:
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix in the eggs, vanilla, and oil on medium speed. Stir in the boiling water.
Pour the batter into prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean.
How to Store Chocolate Cake
The best way to store this one-bowl chocolate cake depends on the frosting you choose. A buttercream-frosted cake can sit (covered) at room temperature for up to five days. If you use cream cheese frosting, though, you'll want to refrigerate it within two hours.
Can You Freeze Chocolate Cake?
Yes! You can absolutely freeze this chocolate cake. We recommend freezing the individual, unfrosted layers. Just wrap the (completely cooled) layers tightly in storage wrap. Follow that with a layer of aluminum foil labeled with the date. For the best protection, store the double-wrapped cake layers in an airtight container. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
