Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

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

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

3

Add Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until smooth.

4

Incorporate Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

5

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter evenly into 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

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. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
