Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the oven

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

2

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Mixing

3

Combine wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add in the whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

4

Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The batter will be thick.

5

Add boiling water

Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Baking

6

Bake the cake

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7

Cool the cakes

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cakes from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
