My friend baked a chocolate cake and it was moist and yummy so I got the recipe from her. I adjusted size to smaller one.

1

This is the ingredients.
If you don't have buttermilk, mix milk and vinegar before measuring other ingredients. (Or simply use milk/yogurt.).
If you prefer strong cocoa flavour, use baking powder rather than baking soda.
2

Spread oil in a cake tin.
Preheat oven at 170℃.
3

Soften butter with room temperature (or use microwave low power for 1 minute). Put butter and half sugar into a bowl and mix well.
4

Add eggs and rest of sugar and mix until smooth.
5

Shift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder together into the bowl in two additions, alternating with buttermilk.
6

Add hot water bit by bit and mix well.
7

Pour the batter into a cake tin. Bake it in the 170℃ oven for 35-40 minutes.
8

Check with a stick, if it's dry, it's done! (or touch sponge lightly if it bounce back.)
Once it's cooled down, enjoy with your favourite icing!
