Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined (it will be thin).
  3. Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
  4. Make the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the cocoa powder and mix well. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, beating to spreading consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake. Serve and enjoy!
