Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Frosting:

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 5 ⅓ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Make cake: Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; mix for 3 minutes with an electric mixer. Stir in boiling water by hand. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to cool completely.
  • While cakes cool, make frosting: Cream butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and cocoa alternately with milk and vanilla. Beat to a smooth spreading consistency.
  • Split the layers of the cooled cake horizontally, cover the top of each layer with frosting, then stack them onto a serving plate.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with remaining frosting.
