Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 9 graham crackers
• 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
• 4 cups chocolate frosting

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
4. Pour in the boiling water and stir until the mixture is fully incorporated.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
6. Break the graham crackers into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the batter in the pans. Press them gently into the batter.
7. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the graham cracker layer.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
9. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top.
11. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining chocolate frosting.
12. For a decorative touch, you can pipe additional frosting around the edges or sprinkle some extra nuts on top.
13. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
14. Slice and serve the cake chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
