The key to a successful chocolate cake is an accurate amount of ingredients and precise timing. Start by gathering the ingredients you will need for your cake including all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, butter, and sugar. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk, butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing from the cake pan.
