🍫 Delicious Chocolate Cake

📝 Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups (300g) sugar
• ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (240ml) milk
• ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup (240ml) boiling water

🏗 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Pour in boiling water: Slowly mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal!
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
7. Enjoy! Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

🍴 Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
• Add a drizzle of chocolate ganache for extra richness.

📌 Notes

• You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• For extra moisture, add ¼ cup of sour cream.

2. Explanation of This Structure

• Frontmatter (---): This contains metadata like the title, date, categories, tags, image, and prep/cook time. Decap CMS uses this for content management.
• Headers (#, ##): Used to organize the recipe clearly.
• Lists (-, 1.): Bullet points for ingredients and numbered steps for instructions.
• Bold (**bold**) and Emojis (🍫): Enhances readability and adds personality to the recipe.
• Horizontal Line (---): Separates sections for clarity.

This format works well with Decap CMS because the frontmatter fields make it easy to filter and sort recipes. Astro will render it as structured HTML when displaying the blog post.
