Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.

    Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

    Bake the Cakes

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
