Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Additional
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking.
- Prepare pans: Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for an even distribution.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Add boiling water: Stir in the boiling water carefully until fully incorporated, which helps to create a moist cake texture.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without overmixing the batter.
- Fill pans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the boiling water in carefully to avoid splashes and to keep the batter smooth.
- Chocolate chips can be replaced with chunks or nuts for variation.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can add espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a rich chocolate ganache or a classic vanilla buttercream.
- Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
