Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water (or hot coffee for extra flavor)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line with parchment paper).
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add wet ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
4. Add boiling water: Carefully stir in the boiling water (or hot coffee). The batter will be thin, but that’s okay!
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. You can frost with chocolate frosting or enjoy as is!
Enjoy your delicious, easy chocolate cake!
