Decadent Chocolate Cake

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder (1 cup), sugar (2 cups), baking powder (1½ tsp), baking soda (1½ tsp), and salt (1 tsp).

3Add the eggs (2), milk (1 cup), oil, and vanilla extract (2 tsp) to the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

4Stir in the boiling water (1 cup) to the batter. The batter will be thin but that's okay.

5Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

6Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

8Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache.

9Slice and enjoy the indulgent, moist, and chocolaty goodness of homemade chocolate cake!
