Cake Ingredients
Method
Baking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cake will bake evenly.
- 2
Prepare the Baking Pans
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. This prevents the cake from sticking to the pans.
- 3
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- 6
Add Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
- 7
Pour into Pans
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- 8
Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 9
Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
