Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 2 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Stir in boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a separate mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with milk and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
7. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top and sides with the chocolate frosting.
8. Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
9. Slice and serve the Top Me-Twice Cake. Enjoy!
