Sweet Ingredients
Method
Sweet Directions
- 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.

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.

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

Add Boiling Water
Stir in the boiling water carefully. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
- 6
Pour into Pans
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- 7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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.
