A rich, moist, and deeply chocolatey cake that’s easy to make and perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or any time you crave a classic chocolate dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water until fully combined. The batter will be thin.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.

Notes

  • Bring ingredients to room temperature for best results.
  • The thin batter creates an exceptionally moist cake.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
  • Frost with your favorite chocolate or vanilla frosting once completely cooled.
