Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Slowly add the hot water and mix until well combined. The batter will be relatively thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For the best texture, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
