Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Add Boiling Water

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

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
