Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Equipment

  • Two 9-inch round cake pans
  • Parchment paper
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  1. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour into dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
  1. Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring until well combined. The batter will be thin.
  1. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  1. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond milk. Use melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for a tropical flavor. To enhance flavor, add a splash of espresso powder to the batter. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap for storage and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring cake to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
