3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp Baking powder

Method

Baking Instructions

Preheat the Oven

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

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Add Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Incorporate Boiling Water

Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the Cakes

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
