Super Moist, 1 bowl Chocolate Cake!

Heat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 13x9” pan, or use parchment paper. (Alternatively, you can use a 9x9” pan if making two separate cakes). In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients (eggs, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract), reserving the boiling water. Mix for 2-3 minutes until the wet and dry ingredients are combined; use a hand-held or stand mixer. Add the boiling water and stir together until fully incorporated. Fill the 13x9” cake pan (or fill two 9x9” pans about halfway). Bake for 30 minutes. Once baked, place the cake on a cooling rack for about 45 minutes before frosting.

For the Chocolate Frosting: Beat the unsalted butter for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Add the powder sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract and whip everything together. Gradually add in the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a creamy, spreadable consistency. Once the cake is completely cooled, frost it. Optionally, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips before serving. Enjoy!
