Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

For the Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt, beating until combined. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Serve: Slice and serve the cake at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Enjoy: This classic chocolate cake pairs perfectly with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey goodness with every bite.
