Recipe Information
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 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 0.25 cups milk (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Slowly stir in the boiling water (the batter will be very thin). Mix until evenly incorporated.
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.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, cream the butter in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well between additions. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread frosting over the top of one layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Slice and serve your incredible chocolate cake. Enjoy!
