Instructions
- Instructions:
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round baking pans with nonstick spray or butter and lightly dust them with flour.
- 2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- 3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the dry ingredients.
- 4. Blend Until Smooth: Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix until there are no lumps—about two minutes will suffice.
- 5. Pour Batter into Pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and gently shake to level them out.
- 6. Bake and Cool: Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for ten minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- 7. Frost or Serve: Once cooled, frost as desired or simply dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
