Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Slowly add the boiling water to the batter and mix until smooth.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

  2. 8

    Serve the Cake

    Once the cake has cooled, cut a slice and place it on a serving plate. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
