Ingredients
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing at low speed until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter.
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
