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, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

4. Incorporate Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared cake pans.

5. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool the Cakes

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

Frosting Preparation

7. Make the Frosting

In a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth.

8. Adjust Consistency

Add milk and vanilla extract to achieve desired frosting consistency. Mix until well combined.

Assembly

9. Frost the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

10. Serve

Slice the cake and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
