Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
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, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
Baking
Pour Batter
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
