Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Add in the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the boiling water by hand. The batter will be thin, but don't worry, it will bake up just fine.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting or simply dust them with powdered sugar.

Enjoy your delicious chocolate cake!

Chocolate cake is a treat that contains chocolate as a main ingredient. Flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, milk and baking powder or soda are common ingredients in the cake. To create a rich, moist texture, some recipes may additionally include butter or oil.

Chocolate cake comes in several forms, including layer cakes, sheet cakes, and bundt cakes. Chocolate cake can be made with a variety of chocolates, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.

Chocolate cake is a popular dessert offered on special occasions such as birthdays, weddings and holidays all around the world. It can be eaten alone or with a variety of toppings or frostings, such as whipped cream or chocolate.

Dark chocolate is a type of chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa solids and less sugar than other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate. The cocoa content in dark chocolate can range from 70% to 100%, with higher percentages indicating a more intense and bitter flavor.

Dark chocolate is made from cocoa beans that have been roasted and ground into a paste, which is then mixed with sugar, vanilla, and other flavorings. The mixture is then conched, which is a process that involves continuously mixing and smoothing the chocolate to improve its texture and taste.

Dark chocolate has been shown to have health benefits when consumed in moderation, such as improving heart health, reducing inflammation, and potentially even improving brain function. However, it is important to note that dark chocolate is still high in calories and fat, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
