2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth; it will be thin.
Frosting Directions
7. Make the Frosting
In a medium bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the cocoa powder, mixing well.
8. Add Sugar and Milk
Add the powdered sugar and whole milk, and beat until smooth and spreadable. Stir in the vanilla extract.
9. Frost the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
Serving Directions
