Ingrédients
  

Cake Batter
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
Frosting
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting store-bought or homemade

Équipement

  • Two 9-inch cake pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Wire Rack

Préparation
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Stir in boiling water carefully; the batter will be thin but that’s normal.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between pans and bake 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool cakes for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Frost with chocolate frosting once completely cooled. Layer frosting between cakes for extra indulgence.
