Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
