Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup whole milk

For the Creamy Milk Frosting:

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk

• 250g unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

4. Carefully stir in the boiling water (batter will be thin).

5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

2. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.

Step 3: Make the Frosting

1. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered milk, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.

2. Add softened butter and whip the mixture until light and fluffy (about 5–7 minutes).

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

1. Once cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting between the cake layers.

2. Cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

3. Decorate with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings if desired.

Tips for Best Results

• For a deeper chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the boiling water.

• Chill the frosted cake for at least 1 hour before serving to set the frosting.
