For the Chocolate Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

    Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and well combined.

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