  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add Boiling Water

    Stir in the boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.

    Bake the Cake

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

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
