Cake Ingredients

2 cups 00 bread flour

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

3 large Eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cups Tuscany sunflower oil

2 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

Method

Cake Directions

1

Prepare Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

2

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

3

Add Boiling Water

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

4

Bake the Cakes

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
