Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 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:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Add sugar and salt and mix briefly.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Carefully add the boiling water and whisk to combine. The batter will be thin.
