Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Preparation

1

Preheat Oven

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

2

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, chili powder, and ground cinnamon.

3

Mix Sugars and Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well blended.

4

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

5

Add Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.

6

Bake the Cakes

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake 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 let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

8

Frost and Serve

Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting. Slice and serve.
