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 flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

5. 5

   Bake the Cake

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

   Cool the Cakes

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