Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1.5 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.

Notes

This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. It tastes great on its own or with your favorite frosting.
