chocolate frosting

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt frosting

💰Cheaper: store-bought frosting

Greek yogurt frosting reduces sugar while maintaining creaminess.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large 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 on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.

Stir in boiling water until the batter is well blended; 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.

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

Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frost with chocolate frosting once cooled.
