Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  • In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes on medium speed using an electric mixer.
  • Next, stir in the boiling water. The batter will be quite thin.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!
