Sweet Ingredients

Method

Sweet Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Baking Pans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. You can also line the bottoms with parchment paper for easier removal.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Boiling Water

    Stir in the boiling water carefully. The batter will be thin, which is normal.

  6. 6

    Pour into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool

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