Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Hershey's cocoa
- 1.5 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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, Hershey's cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pans.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Frost and decorate the cakes with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Slice, serve, and watch this cake disappear!
