Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a ring or Bundt pan, ensuring all sides are well-coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, stirring constantly. The batter will thin out, which is normal.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared ring/Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

Step 10

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
