- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla.
- Beat in boiling water. The batter will be thin. Pour into prepared pan.

Notes
- The batter will be thin, but that’s normal. It helps create a light and moist cake.
- You can frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or serve it plain for a simple treat.
- If you don’t have a 9×9 inch pan, an 8-inch square pan can also be used.
