  • 1 ¾ cups sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  • Stir in boiling water until well combined; the batter will be thin.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
