Equipment

  • 2 9-inch round cake pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wire rack
  • Spatula or butter knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preparation Steps:
    Prepare the oven by preheating it to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans (or line with parchment paper).
    Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 2 cups sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl.
    Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
    Boiling Water: Gradually add 1 cup of boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but that’s what makes it so moist!
    Bake: Distribute the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.
    Cool Down: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Frosting Time: For the frosting, beat together 1/2 cup butter, 2/3 cup cocoa powder, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1/3 cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth.
    Assemble: Spread frosting on one cake layer, then place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with frosting.
    Decorate & Enjoy: Garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or berries for a final touch. Slice and savor the chocolate bliss! 🍫✨

Notes

For the ultimate moistness, don't skip the step of adding boiling water to the batter! This enhances the chocolate flavor and keeps the cake soft. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain its freshness for days.
