Ingredients
Scale

- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined (the batter will be thin).
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
