Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting or serving.
