Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.25 cup Confectioners' sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix gently until the batter is well combined. Note: The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the cake is cool, dust the top with confectioners' sugar, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Spicy Cake with a glass of milk or a dollop of whipped cream!
