Method

Cake Directions

  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 bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, 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. The batter will be thin.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Sauce Directions

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk over medium heat.

  2. 8

    Melt the Butter

    Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

  3. 9

    Add Vanilla

    Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 10

    Serve the Sauce

    Let the sauce cool slightly before serving it warm over the chocolate cake.
