– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract; beat until smooth and well combined.
4. Carefully stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin, but that’s expected).
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
– Avoid overbaking to ensure maximum moisture.
– The boiling water enhances the cocoa flavor, creating a rich taste profile.
– For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder.
