Chocolate cake recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or grease a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in the boiling water by hand until batter is well combined. (The batter will look runny, but have faith... it'll turn out!) Pour evenly into the prepared pans (or pan). For two 9-inch cakes, bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. For 9x13 cake, bake for 40-45 minutes. For two 9-inch cakes, cool cake for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans to cool completely. The cake is delicious by itself, either slightly warm or even chilled. Try it with the chocolate buttercream or whipped cream topping. Add some berries or cherry pie filling with the whipped cream, if desired!
