Scale

- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

- Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate, spread the cream filling on top, and then place the second layer on top.
- Decorate with chocolate decorations as desired.
Notes
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Use good quality cocoa powder for a richer flavor. Decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles or fresh fruit for a beautiful touch.
