Ingredients

Scale

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Cake crumbs (for decoration)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually mix in milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
