INGREDIENTS

  • Cake

    • 2 cups white sugar
    • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 🥛 1 cup milk
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 cup boiling water

  • Frosting

    • ¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 5 ⅓ cups confectioners' sugar
    • 1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 🥛 ⅔ cup milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2

Combine sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

3

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract; mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer, then stir in boiling water by hand.

4

Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.

5

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.

6

While cakes cool, make frosting by creaming butter until fluffy and mixing in confectioners' sugar and cocoa alternately with milk and vanilla extract; beat to smooth consistency.

7

Split cooled cake layers horizontally, frost each layer, stack on a serving plate, and frost the outside of the cake.
