- 2 cups of sugar (480g) PS: you can lessen it, depending on your level of sweetness
- 1 Âľ cup of all purpose flour (420g)
- Âľ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (180g) PS: remember to reduce the cocoa if you reduce the sugar. It may become too bitter without the sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder (7.5g)
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda (7.5g)
- 1 teaspoon of salt (5g)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of milk (240ml)
- ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (10ml)
- 1 cup of boiling water (240ml)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Greece and flour two 9-inch round pans
- Prepare a large bowl and stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Next, add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla then mix the batter for 2 minutes preferably on an electric mixer.
- Lastly, slowly stir in the boiling water into the batter. Do not worry about the batter thinning, it will eventually set out just fine (refer to the video).
- Divide the batter evenly into the two prepared 9-inch pans and bake it for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven.
- To test if it’s done, use a toothpick and poke in the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done!
- Cool the pans out of the oven for 10 minutes then gently invert the pans to get the cakes out. Let them rest on a wire rack (so that the air can pass through and not get the cakes soggy) until completely cool.
- Now you can prepare your own frosting and top it to completion! (Refer to the video)
