Method

Cake Preparation

1

Preheat 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 bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in boiling water until smooth.

5

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6

Cool the Cake

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting Preparation

7

Prepare the Frosting

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Cook while stirring constantly until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

8

Cool the Frosting

Remove from heat and let the frosting cool to room temperature.

9

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the frosting generously between the layers and on top of the cake. Decorate with chocolate sprinkles.
