Chocolate Cake

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).

  6. 6

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
