Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, here’s how to make this classic cake:
- 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, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. It will be quite thin, which is perfect!
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of the first cake. Place the second cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire layered cake.
- For an extra touch, you can decorate the top with chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Enjoy your homemade Classic Chocolate Doberge Cake!
