How to Make Ugly Chocolate Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and boiling water to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (recipe suggestions included below!) and enjoy!
