Baking Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Pans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Incorporate Boiling Water
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
Bake the Cakes
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
