Ultimate Chocolate Indulgence Cake

Ingredients

- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 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

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

4. Form the Batter:
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

5. Incorporate Boiling Water:
Carefully pour in the boiling water, stirring continuously. The batter will be thin, but ensure it is well mixed and smooth.

6. Pour into Pans:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

7. Bake:
Place the pans in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

8. Cool Down:
Leave the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooled, frost with your favorite icing, slice, and serve.
