How to make Sweet chocolate cake | Food From Portugal

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients until well combined.

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.

Stir in boiling water until the batter is well combined; the batter will be thin.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes.

Turn the cakes out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread chocolate frosting on top.

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Decorate with chocolate shavings and a dusting of powdered sugar.
