Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed until combined.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together hot water and milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed until smooth.
  6. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove cakes from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a mixing bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting on top and around the sides of the cake.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients, especially the eggs and milk. Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until it thickens.
