Chocolate Cake Recipe

Set the oven temperature to 350°F, or 175°C. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Using a big basin, thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking powder.

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence to the dry ingredients, along with the wet components. Combine and blend until smooth.

Bring one cup of water to a boil.

Stir the batter until it’s smooth, then gradually pour in boiling water. Expect the batter to be thin.

If you would like, mix in chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Assemble the cake pans and pour the batter into them equally. As soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated oven.

Let cakes set in the pans for ten minutes, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling before frosting. Cool, and then frost with your preferred icing.
