Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until fully combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix well with a hand whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your No Name Cake!
