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

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract

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