Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 240 milliliters Boiling water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour in the boiling water, a little at a time, while stirring. The batter will be thin, but this ensures the cake will be moist and light.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting, decorate as desired, and serve!
