Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons 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 baking pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed until well combined.

4. Add Boiling Water: Reduce the mixer speed to low and carefully add the boiling water to the cake batter. Beat on high speed for about 1 minute to add air to the batter.

5. Bake: Distribute the cake batter evenly between the prepared baking pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

7. Frost: Once the cakes are completely cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.

Enjoy your homemade chocolate cake!
