Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 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 whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup chocolate fudge frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth. Stir in boiling water until well blended (the batter will be thin).
Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of chocolate fudge frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate: If desired, garnish the cake with chocolate shavings or sprinkles before serving.
