Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
5. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, dust the cakes with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
