Method
Baking Process
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
Bake the Layers
Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans. 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 transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake
Once cooled, place one layer on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, add the second layer, repeat with frosting, and top with the third layer. Frost the top and sides.
