How to Make Chocolate Dream Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the boiling water – the batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving.
