Method

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 mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Then carefully stir in the boiling water until smooth. The batter will be thin.

Baking

  1. 5

    Pour Batter

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Serving

  1. 8

    Frost or Serve

    Once the cakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting or serve them plain. Enjoy your delicious chocolate cake!
