One Cup Sugar Chocolate Cake:

Learn how to make a scratch cake!

I’ve made many birthday cakes with this simple recipe. It only needs one cup of sugar, unless you add delicious chocolate frosting, which increases the sugar!

Low-sugar desserts fit well in a healthy diet, and most people will enjoy this cake.

This scratch cake recipe is easy to follow and fairly healthy. I prefer using organic ingredients and Einkorn flour, but any unbleached flour works well too.

I always bake this cake in a Bundt pan because it looks nice for birthdays.

Quick Note:

Einkorn flour comes from Einkorn wheat, which has never been changed or hybridized.

It contains less gluten, making it easier for people with gluten sensitivities. Research it yourself, and you may find the nutritional benefits of Einkorn Wheat Flour interesting for today’s bakers!

This has been a Family Favorite for Decades!!!!

First of all, gather your ingredients: I have included links to Amazon!!

• 1 3/4 cups Unbleached Flour (I use Einkorn Flour)
• 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
• 5 tablespoons Organic Cocoa Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• One teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
• 3 Farm Fresh Eggs
• 1 Cup Organic Milk
• 1/2 cup Avocado Oil
• 1 cup Boiling Water

Next, combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the next 3 ingredients (eggs, milk, and avocado oil), but do not add the boiling water. Save the water for a bit later.

Mix on low for 1 minute and then beat on medium-high for 4 minutes. Make sure to beat on medium-high for at least 4 minutes to have the fluffiest homemade cake ever!!!

• Add one cup of boiling water and mix on low until blended.
• Pour the batter into an oiled Bundt pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Check if it’s done by inserting a knife or toothpick into the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• Take it out of the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing it from the pan. Use a kitchen knife to gently loosen the cake from the edges of the Bundt pan.
• Flip the cake onto a serving platter or cake plate. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.

Note: This one-cup sugar chocolate cake recipe will fill your Bundt pan to the top.

This cake won’t rise any higher, as it will reach the very edge of the pan. It’s a high-rising cake made from scratch that is moist, fluffy, and not crumbly.

Perfect Chocolate Frosting!

First of all:

• Melt 1/2 stick of unsalted organic butter.
• Slowly add 1/2 cup Organic Cocoa Powder 
• Then, add 2 1/2 to 3 cups of Organic Powered Sugar*. Mix until smooth and silkMake sure to continue mixing until the frosting is no longer grainy looking.
• It will become very smooth.
• But, if it seems a bit grainy looking, add 1 teaspoon of milk at a time.
• Do not add too much milk as you will need to increase the powdered sugar.

This frosting tastes like rich fudge!!!! It should be very easy to spread just make sure your cake is completely cool of the frosting might melt a bit.

Decorate, if desired!!! with natural gluten free, non GMO cake sprinkles!!!

*If you have never used Organic Powdered Sugar, then you are in for a wonderful surprise!!! Organic Powered Sugar is absolutely delicious with a natural buttery taste.
