# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure to grease and lightly dust two 9-inch round pans with flour.
02 -
In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, cocoa powder, baking powder, and soda, stirring well.
03 -
Throw eggs, vanilla, oil, and milk into the dry mixture and mix until the batter feels smooth. Then, pour in the boiling water and mix. It’ll look pretty runny, but it’s normal!
04 -
Pour the batter equally into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
05 -
Leave the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, move them to cooling racks and let them cool completely.
06 -
Whip the butter until it’s creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar and cocoa while mixing. At the end, add milk and vanilla, and beat everything to a fluffy finish.
07 -
Cover the top of one cake layer with frosting, place the second cake on top, and spread frosting all over until it’s perfectly coated.
