Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 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
  • 2 cups chocolate fudge frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, fill and frost the layers generously with chocolate fudge frosting. Enjoy!
