Chocolate Cake

STEP 2

Matilda, Danny DeVito's thunderous directorial follow-up to Hoffa (1992), features an inexplicably tempting chocolate cake, despite its open admission of containing bodily fluids. Sit down and consume this entire confection today alongside Dan Pashman of The Sporkful.

What You Need:

bowl
whisk
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 Tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
9" cake pans x 3

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, first cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry, and whisk until smooth. Divide evenly between the cake pans, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Place pans on racks to cool for at least 30 minutes before flipping onto racks, and allowing to cool completely, another 30-60 minutes.
