Ingredients
- 1.75 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
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until the water is fully incorporated.
Step 5
Evenly pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s).
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake(s) from the oven and let cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer the cake(s) onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy as-is for an ultra-moist chocolate treat!
