Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
    • Optional for decoration:
  • Chocolate fudge frosting or ganache
  • Chocolate sprinkles, curls, or shavings
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
  3. 3
    Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. 4
    Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this ensures a moist cake.
  5. 5
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  6. 6
    Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. 7
    Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. 8
    Frost with chocolate fudge frosting or ganache, then decorate with sprinkles or chocolate shavings if desired.
  9. 9
    Slice and serve.
