Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.75 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups boiling water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
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, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the boiling water, mixing until the batter becomes thin and uniform. Set aside.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 6
Divide the chocolate batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each pan, avoiding the edges.
Step 7
Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate batter to create a marbled effect.
Step 8
Bake the cakes in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the chocolate portion comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once the cakes have cooled, layer and frost as desired, or serve as-is for a rich and satisfying treat.
