Cake Preparation
Prepare the Oven and Pans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
Incorporate Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is well mixed (the batter will be thin).
Bake the Cakes
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Assemble
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
