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 whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk to mix the ingredients until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal and helps achieve a moist cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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 the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting and serve. Enjoy your super moist chocolate cake!
