Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pans

    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, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine and Mix

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Fold in the dark, milk, and white chocolate chips.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
