Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a cake pan.

In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

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

Mix until smooth and fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Carefully stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth; it will be thin.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
