Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking 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 the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  3. 3

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Then, stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cake

    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.

  5. 5

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from pans and allow to cool completely on wire racks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooled, serve slices of the chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
