Step-by-Step Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and get ready to bake the best chocolate cake of your life!
- Fire up your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Time to grease and sprinkle some flour into two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is mixed thoroughly!
- Incorporate the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla into the mix. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for a smooth blend, about 2 minutes.
- Gently stir in boiling water. The batter will be rather thin, but don't worry, it's just the way it's supposed to be.
- Pour the delightful batter equally into your prepped cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted at the center springs out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Let it rest in the pans for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Now, slice up your delicious creation and dig in!
