Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the boiling water until well combined (the batter will be quite thin, but that’s perfectly normal!).
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

- Frost the top and sides with the rich chocolate caramel fudge frosting.
- Serve and enjoy every heavenly bite!
