Ingredients
For the Cake:
● 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
● 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
● ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
● 1 ½ tsp baking powder
● 1 ½ tsp baking soda
● 1 tsp salt
● 2 large eggs
● 1 cup whole milk
● ½ cup vegetable oil
● 2 tsp vanilla extract
● 1 cup boiling water

For the Chocolate Frosting:
● 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
● 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
● ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
● ½ cup heavy cream
● 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Bake the Cake: Pour batter evenly into pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pans, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Frosting: Beat butter until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and cocoa. Add heavy cream and vanilla, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, then place the second layer and frost the top and sides.
