Ingredients
- 200 g Dark chocolate
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 400 g Sugar
- 50 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 240 ml Milk
- 100 ml Vegetable oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round pans lightly with butter or cooking spray. Dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Pro tip: Line the bottoms with parchment paper for extra insurance. The smell of warm chocolate will soon fill your kitchen!
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly mixed before moving on.
- Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir until smooth. You’ll notice the batter turning glossy and thick. Be patient—it’s worth it!
- Gradually pour in boiling water while stirring. The batter will become thin, which might surprise you, but don’t worry! This step makes the cake super moist and tender once baked.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. Watch closely toward the end to avoid overbaking. Your kitchen will smell heavenly by now.
