• 1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt

For the Chocolate Frosting:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
   • Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
   • Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
2. Bake the Cake:
   • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
   • 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 cool completely on wire racks.
3. Make the Frosting:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium speed until creamy.
   • Add the cocoa powder and mix until combined.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, beating on low speed until well combined.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and beat on high speed for about 1 minute, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Cake:
   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of frosting over the top.
   • Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
