Method

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

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and thin. The batter will be quite liquid.

  5. 5

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
