Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking the Soft Chocolate Cake Recipe
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, carefully transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfecting Your Soft Chocolate Cake Recipe
Sift the cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
Use room temperature eggs and milk for better incorporation into the batter.
Don’t overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
Variations and Additions
For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules to the boiling water.
Fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter for added texture.
Top the cake with whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or your favorite frosting.
