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 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (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 bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until well combined.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Cake: Place one layer of the cooled cake on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of marshmallow frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Garnish: If desired, top with chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Slice and serve.
