Making a mean chocolate cake shouldn't be so hard

I'm transcribing this pretty directly from Add a Pinch's best chocolate cake recipe ever, since I tried to make the best chocolate cake ever today and can't even see the text due to all the autoplay videos that kept scrolling through. What the hell, man?

The recipe is damn good though

Ingredients

• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cups sugar
• 3/8 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (1/4 cup + 2 tbsp)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
• 1/2 cup milk buttermilk, almond, or coconut milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable canola oil, or melted coconut oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• Chocolate Buttercream Icing

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by spraying with baking spray or buttering and lightly flouring.

For the chocolate cake:

• Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder to a large bowl. Whisk through to combine.
• Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed and carefully add boiling water to the cake batter until well combined.
• Distribute cake batter evenly in the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the chocolate cake comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and cool completely.
• Ice cake with Chocolate Buttercream Icing.
