Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 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 blended.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

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

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

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

  7. 7

    Frost the Cakes

    Once cooled, frost the cakes with your favorite chocolate frosting and stack them to create a two-layer cake.
