Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or a 9x13-inch pan.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Add Boiling Water: Stir in the boiling water slowly. The batter will be thin, but this helps keep the cake moist.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes (for round pans) or 35-40 minutes (for 9x13 pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Frost: Frost with your favorite chocolate or buttercream frosting once fully cooled.

Notes

  • For added richness, use coffee instead of water to deepen the chocolate flavor.
  • This cake freezes well—wrap layers individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
