Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for two minutes. The batter will be thick.
- Carefully pour the boiling water into the batter and mix on low speed until just combined. The batter will be very thin.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost as desired, perhaps with a rich chocolate ganache.
Notes
- Using boiling water blooms the cocoa, deepening the chocolate flavor.
- This thin batter yields an exceptionally moist cake. Do not overbake.
- You can use this recipe for 24 cupcakes; bake for 18-20 minutes.
