Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and spray cooking spray on two 9-inch cake pans.
- In a large bowl combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the eggs, milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.

Notes
The batter will be thin in this recipe. Don't worry!
This cake is delicious with a dusting of powdered sugar.
