Cake Directions
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
4. Incorporate Boiling Water
Stir in the boiling water carefully (the batter will be thin). Mix until well combined.
5. Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting Directions
7. Prepare the Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, and beat until well combined and fluffy.
8. Add Vanilla
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
9. Frost the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
