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 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round baking pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and carefully add the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking 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 let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes are completely cool, frost and decorate them as desired. Enjoy your Super Tasty Chocolate Cake!
