Instructions
For the Cake:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Step 5: Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.
Step 6: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting (Optional):
Step 9: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Step 10: Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 11: Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
Step 12: Slice and savor the rich and delightful taste of this classic chocolate cake. Enjoy!
