Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, which is normal.

  5. 5

    Pour into Pan

    Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare to Serve

    Once cooled, place one layer of the chocolate cake on a serving plate. Optionally, spread a layer of chocolate sauce on top.

  2. 9

    Add Second Layer

    Place the second layer of the cake on top of the first one.

  3. 10

    Dust with Powdered Sugar

    Dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration.

  4. 11

    Serve with Ice Cream

    Serve warm slices of the cake with scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side and drizzle with chocolate sauce to taste.
