The hot water helps to bloom the cocoa powder which helps to unlock the cocoa powder’s flavor. Vanilla extract is added to enhance the flavor of the cake. Eggs also act as a leavening agent in the cake as well as help to add texture and flavor. Some oils will alter the flavor of the cake slightly so just be aware of that. I usually use canola oil but vegetable oil and other oils like coconut will work too. The milk helps to make the cake moist and tender and adds a bit of flavor. I generally use 2% milk but you can use a variety of milks from whole milk to skim to even almond milk. Salt is used to enhance the flavor of the other ingredients. The baking soda will also help the cake to rise and result in a more tender crumb. The baking powder helps the cake rise and it will help to lighten the texture of the cake. Don’t confuse this with any chocolate powder, like the kind used to make chocolate milk, they are different. I generally use the Hershey’s brand of unsweetened cocoa powder but you can use whatever brand you can get ahold of. Sugar also serves other purposes while baking. Of course, we want our chocolate cake to be sweet, so we will add some sugar. With that said all-purpose or plain four works just fine too.
