Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Cake Pans

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Boiling Water

    Stir in the boiling water until well combined (the batter will be thin).

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

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