Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in boiling water until the batter is thin.
- Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and divide the batter into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cakes for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Whip cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form for frosting.
