 Ingredients:

– 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
– ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup chocolate fudge frosting
– 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
– Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the boiling water until well combined (the batter will be thin).
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. Once cooled, spread a layer of chocolate fudge frosting on top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top.
8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate fudge frosting.
9. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
10. Slice and serve!
