Yummy chocolate cake recipe

 Sure, here's a basic recipe for making chocolate cake:

**Ingredients:**

- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar

- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 eggs

- 1 cup buttermilk

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 cup hot water

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. Stir in the hot water; the batter will be thin, but that's okay.

5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

6. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
