Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Hershey's cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional for glut)
• 2 cups Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch rectangular pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, Hershey's cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium speed with a hand or stand mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist texture. If you're adding extra chocolate chips for the 'glut', gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For a single 9x13-inch pan, check for doneness around 35–40 minutes.

Step 6

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 7

For an added layer of indulgence, frost the cake with Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting once it's completely cool. Spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 8

Slice and serve your Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake Glut! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
