Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 3.5 cups powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
• 0.25 cup chocolate sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To prepare the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy.

Step 8

Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk, beating on low until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat until the frosting is fluffy.

Step 9

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.

Step 10

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.

Step 11

Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the cake for decoration.

Step 12

Serve with a heartfelt apology, and watch smiles return!
