Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing pans)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Step 5
Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this step ensures a moist cake.
Step 6
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn the cakes out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and serve. Enjoy this decadent Devil's Food Cake with friends and family!
