Ingredients

• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• Chocolate ganache or frosting (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
4. Boiling Water: Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
5. Pour into Pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cooling: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional Ganache or Frosting: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of chocolate ganache or frosting between the two layers and on top if desired.
9. Serve: Slice and serve the Decadent Chocolate Cake for a truly indulgent experience.
