Classic Chocolate Cake

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cakes

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).A properly heated oven ensures even rising and a smooth, soft texture.
2. Grease two 23 cm (9 inch) round cake pans or line the bottoms with parchment paper.Lining the pans guarantees the delicate layers release without tearing.

2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients

• Sift the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.Sifting removes lumps—especially in cocoa—and helps the cake bake evenly.
• Whisk until you have a homogeneous mixture.

3️⃣ Add the Wet Ingredients

• Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry mixture.
• Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. The dough will be thick.This step builds structure while keeping the batter smooth and creamy.
  

  4️⃣ Loosen the Dough with Boiling Water
