Chocolate Cake Recipe

Cake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cake Batter

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

2. 2

   Mix Wet Ingredients

   Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until the batter is well combined; it will be thin.

3. 3

   Bake the Cake

   Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
