Dessert Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare 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, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. It will be thin.

  5. 5

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Serve as desired.
