Recipe information

Make Chocolate Cake in just 1h 30m. Rich and decadent chocolate cake.

Cake Preparation

1. Preheat 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, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Add Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin.

6. Bake

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.

7. Cool Cakes

Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting Preparation

8. Make Frosting

In a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, and beat until smooth and fluffy.

9. Add Vanilla

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

10. Frost Cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
