  • 4 cups chocolate frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
  • Let the cake layers cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
