Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven and Pans

  • First, heat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease two round pans with oil or butter. Put parchment paper at the bottom of pans. This helps the cake come out very easily.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • Put your flour and sugar into a bowl. Add the cocoa powder and the baking powder. Add the baking soda and the salt too. Whisk them until the color is very even.

Add the Wet Ingredients

  • Add the large eggs and the milk now. Pour in the oil and the vanilla extract. Use your mixer on a medium speed. Beat the mix for two full minutes.

The Boiling Water Step

  • Pour the boiling water into the bowl slowly. Stir it in by using a large spoon. The batter will look very thin and watery. This step makes the cake very moist.

Bake the Cake Layers

  • Pour the batter into your two prepared pans. Put them in the oven for 35 minutes. Check the center with a thin toothpick. Let the cakes cool on a wire rack.

Final Cake Assembly

  • Place one cake layer on a large plate. Spread warm chocolate fudge over the top. Put the second cake layer on top. Pour more fudge sauce to create a wave.

Notes

➜ ➜ Use room temperature eggs for a smooth batter.
➜ ➜ Do not overmix the cake batter after water.
➜ ➜ Always sift your cocoa to remove any lumps.
➜ ➜ Use hot boiling water for the best flavor.
➜ ➜ Check the cake early to avoid dry edges.
