Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
4. In a medium bowl, cream butter until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread and sandwich the buttercream frosting between the two cake layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
5. Serve and enjoy!
