In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool the Cakes

Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
