How to Make Sour Milk Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the sour milk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
