- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round baking pans or line with parchment paper.
- 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- 3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring gently.
- 4. Add Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water until fully incorporated; this will create a thin batter.
