Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons milk (or milk alternative)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  3. Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Combine eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla with the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the boiling water carefully; the batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Make the frosting by beating butter, then adding powdered sugar and cocoa powder, with enough milk for a spreadable consistency.
  10. Assemble by frosting one cake layer, adding the second layer, and frosting the top and sides.
