Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

  3. Add the eggs, milk, cooking oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring. The batter will be thin, which is normal.

  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before frosting.
  8. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter and cocoa powder until smooth.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk while mixing until the frosting becomes creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  10. Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
  11. Slice and serve your rich and delicious Chocolate Cake!
