2 cups of sugar
1 ¾ Cups of flour.
¾ cup of cocoa, the best you can buy
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 Cup of milk, whatever you can, but vegetable milk
½ cup of oil
2 teaspoons of vanilla.
1 Cup of boiling water
STEP BY STEP PREPARATION
Mix sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat at medium speed of the mixer for 2 minutes.
Add the boiling water (the dough will be quite liquid).

Baking in your oven is always a mystery. 50 to 55 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.
GRADES
If you wish, you can fill and cover with the chocolate frosting of your choice. If you want that shiny chocolate, take note: 150 grams of chocolate to melt (it is important that it is a chocolate with enough cocoa butter, such as fondant).
100 ml of liquid cream (it is necessary to whip the cream for this recipe).
20 grams of butter, ideally unsalted butter so that it does not hinder by adding unwanted flavors.
2 tablespoons of water, this will lighten the consistency and create a much more balanced chocolate coating. Preparation: The first step to follow is to incorporate the cream into a saucepan, you must be careful not to burn it, stirring when necessary. Once it boils, it should be removed from the heat.
Add the chopped chocolate to the cream, it is important that the chocolate is in fine pieces, because this will make it melt in less time.
Add the 20 grams of unsalted butter, without adding to the heat, continue stirring until all the ingredients are combined and the chocolate becomes more liquid.
There is an important trick on how to make a shiny chocolate coating, it is to add two tablespoons of water to the mixture. It’s incredible how much this helps, especially making it look smoother and brighter. If you like me, I’m happy because you won’t argue anymore over the cake that you think is incomplete… best regards.
