Cake Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

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

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until combined.

   Bake the Cake

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

5. 5

   Cool and Prepare

   Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.

   Prepare Chocolate Streusel

   In a bowl, mix 0.5 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups cocoa powder, 0.5 cups brown sugar, and 0.25 cups cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake before baking.
