Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
