Method

Cake Preparation

  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, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

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

  5. 5

    Cool the Cakes

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