Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.

4. Incorporate Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

5. Bake the Cake

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

6. Cool the Cakes

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Whipped Cream Preparation

7. Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form.

8. Serve

Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost with whipped cream or serve a dollop on each slice.
