Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups plain (all-purpose) flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 batches chocolate buttercream frosting
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line two 8 in round cake tins.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and beat for 2 minutes until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the boiling water last. The batter will be very thin — this is correct.
- Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 30–35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and cool completely.
- Spread buttercream between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake before serving.
