Yield: 1 two-layer (9-inch) cake
Ingredients:
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Directions:
Prepare the ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir everything together.
Add wet ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
Add boiling water: Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but don’t worry—that's what makes the cake moist and fluffy.
Bake the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing and enjoy!
