Baking Instructions
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, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Incorporate Boiling Water
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
Pour and Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
