Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup butter (for frosting)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/3 cup milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, combining flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Incorporate the boiling water until everything is combined; the batter will be thin.
  5. Add the chocolate chips, folding them in evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the frosting by beating together cocoa powder and butter. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk until reaching desired consistency.
  9. Frost the top of one cake layer before placing the other on top. Frost the top and sides with remaining frosting.

Notes

Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for an extra treat. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
