simple chocolate cake recipe

Here is a simple chocolate cake recipe that is easy to make and delicious:

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Add sugar and salt and mix briefly.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
4. Carefully add the boiling water and whisk to combine. The batter will be thin.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
6. Bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
