Equipment

  • 3 Cake Pans
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 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 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 batch of chocolate buttercream frosting see recipe below
  • Espresso powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  • Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost each layer with the chocolate buttercream frosting. Stack the layers on top of each other.
  • Spread chocolate shavings on the cake or espresso powder, if desired, for an extra touch of flavor.
  • Slice and serve this decadent chocolate layer cake to enjoy its moist and rich goodness.

Special Tip

For a seasonal twist, you can incorporate fresh berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, between the cake layers. This adds a burst of fruity flavor and a pop of color to the dessert.
