Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round baking 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 dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the mixer speed to low and carefully add the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking 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, carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost and decorate them as desired. Enjoy your Super Tasty Chocolate Cake!
