Ingredients
- 1.75 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 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) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
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 bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth and fully blended.
Step 4
Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix on low speed until the batter is thin and fully combined.
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 of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Step 8
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy as is!
