Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

1

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 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, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until well combined.

4

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

Cool the Cakes

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

6

Prepare the Frosting

In a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

7

Frost the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the frosting on the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

8

Serve

Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your moist chocolate cake with chocolate frosting!
