Ingredients
  

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¾ cups granulated sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

½ cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until everything is well incorporated.

        Add Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin—this is normal).

          Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to the batter, distributing them evenly.

            Pour Batter into Pans: Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool the Cakes: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, gently remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Frosting (Optional): You can frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or a simple ganache for an extra decadent touch.

                    Slice and Serve: Once cooled and frosted, slice the cake into pieces and enjoy your moist chocolate creation!
