Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (25cm) bundt cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, filling it about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  8. Invert the pan onto a wire rack and gently tap it to release the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
  10. Slice and enjoy!
