how to make Creamy Luxurious Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

For the cream cheese frosting:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

For decoration:

Chocolate shavings or curls

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined and creamy.
Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate with chocolate shavings or curls as desired. Serve and enjoy!
