Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup 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) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
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 dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Carefully stir in the boiling water by hand. The batter will be thin, but this step ensures a moist and light cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Optional: Frost with your favorite chocolate buttercream, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or serve as is for a luscious treat!
