Nothing is more delicious than a good ol chocolate cake. Well, this chocolate cake is the best and I bake it all the time.

Cake Ingredients:

• 2 cups: all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp: baking powder
• 1.5 tsp: baking soda
• 1 tsp: salt

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp: vanilla extract
• 1 cup: boiling water

Chocolate Buttercream Icing Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups: softened butter

• 1 cup: unsweetened cocoa powder

• 5 cups: icing sugar

• 1/2 cup: milk

• 2 tsp: vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Line your cake pan(s) with baking paper or spray with baking spray.
• Mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Add the milk, eggs, oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix together until well combined.
• Carefully add the boiling water to the mixture and mix until well combined.
• Distribute the batter into the cake pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clear.
• To make the icing, cream the butter and the cocoa powder together until well combined.
• Add vanilla extract, sugar and milk to mixture. For every cup of sugar add a tbsp of milk. After each addition turn mixture on high speed and repeat until milk and sugar is finished .
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool off.
• Frost the cake and enjoy!

Additional Notes:

• Do not overfill your pans (should be about 1/2-2/3 fill) to prevent cake from collapsing.
• The more batter you add to a pan will increase the baking time, so I recommend dividing the batter into multiple pans.
• If the icing is too dry add a small amount of milk. If it is too wet add small amounts of icing sugar.
