Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 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 cake pans and set them aside.
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 eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed with a hand or stand mixer for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Slowly incorporate the boiling water into the batter, mixing gently to avoid splashing. The batter will become thin, and that's normal.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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 before frosting.
Step 8
Frost and decorate as desired. Serve and enjoy Mrs. Moore's Chocolate Cake!
