Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan and Oven

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Prepare two 9-inch cake pans by spraying with baking spray.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients 

Add flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl or stand mixer. Whisk through to combine or, using your paddle attachment, stir through flour mixture until combined well.

Step 3: Whisk All Ingredients Together 

Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined. Reduce speed and carefully add boiling water to the cake batter until well combined.

Step 4: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center springs back when gently pressed. Cool on a cake rack.

Step 5: Make and Apply Frosting

Enjoy 🙂
