How to Make 30 Minute Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the boiling water to the batter while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (recipe not included).
