Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula until smooth and no dry spots remain.
Carefully pour in the boiling water while whisking the batter gently. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optionally, dust the cake with powdered sugar, frost with your favorite icing, or enjoy plain as a moist and chocolatey treat.
