Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for extra fudginess)
- 1/2 cup butter (for frosting)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1/4 cup whole milk (for frosting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well blended.
- Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add boiling water: Slowly add the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay – it creates a super moist cake.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In a saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the cake: Once the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of the first cake, then place the second cake on top. Cover the entire cake with the frosting.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice into the rich, decadent layers and enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
Time Required
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Bake time: 30-35 minutes
- Cool time: 1 hour (if you wait for it to cool completely before frosting)
- Total time: Approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes
Tools Needed
- Two 9-inch round cake pans
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Spatula
