A rich, moist, and oh-so-chocolatey cake that is perfect for any celebration or simply enjoying at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 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 whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Incorporate the boiling water into the batter; it will be thin, but this creates a moist cake.
  5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream and berries for a delightful treat. Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
