📝 Here’s what you’ll need for the cake:

2 cups of all-purpose flour 🌾
2 cups of granulated sugar 🍚
3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder 🥄
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda 🥄
1 teaspoon of salt 🧂
2 large eggs 🥚
1 cup of milk 🥛
1/2 cup of vegetable oil 🌿
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract 🌿
1 cup of boiling water 💦

🔸 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper for easier removal.

🔸 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

🔸 Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until the batter is well combined.

🔸 Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while continuing to mix. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.

🔸 Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

🔸 Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

🔸 Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

📝 For the frosting, you’ll need:

1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened 🧈
2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
3 cups of powdered sugar, sifted 🍚
1/3 cup of milk 🥛
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 🌿
🔸 In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until creamy and well combined.

🔸 Once the cakes have completely cooled, frost one cake layer with a generous amount of chocolate frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake, including the sides.
