Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Sifted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder High-quality for richer flavor
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs Beaten until frothy
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract High-quality for richer flavor
Other Ingredients
  • 1 cup boiling water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with non-stick spray or butter and dust with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add in the whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
  5. Carefully add the boiling water to the mixture, stirring until smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
