Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.

  4. 4

    Fold in Chocolate Chips

    Gently fold in the chocolate chips to the batter.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

  6. 6

    Prepare Caramel Sauce (Optional)

    While the cake is cooling, prepare your favorite caramel sauce or heat store-bought caramel sauce in a saucepan.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the cakes are completely cool, frost with your choice of chocolate frosting, serve with vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
