Cake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oven

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

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

5. 5

   Bake the Cakes

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

6. 6

   Cool the Cakes

   Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. 7

   Prepare the Frosting

   In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream, and mix until creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract.

8. 8

   Frost the Cake

   Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
