Cake Preparation

1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Combine Mixtures
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
5
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.

Streusel Topping Preparation

Make the Streusel
In a bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and oats. Mix until crumbly.

Sprinkle on Cake
Once the cakes have cooled, sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of each cake.
