Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  4. Slowly stir in the boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay!

  8. Once the cakes have cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and enjoy!
