Preparation Steps
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
-
Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pans to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes:
This chocolate cake is perfect on its own, but I added frosting and Oreo cookies. You can add whatever toppings you like. Enjoy
