Chocolate Cake Recipe

1. **Prepare the Dry Ingredients:**

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. **Add the Wet Ingredients:**

- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.

- Using a mixer, beat at medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.

3. **Incorporate the Boiling Water:**

- Carefully add the boiling water to the batter.

- The mixture will be quite liquid, but that's expected.

4. **Prepare the Baking Pan:**

- Grease and flour a baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

5. **Bake the Cake:**

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Bake the cake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on the cake as it bakes.

6. **Cool and Serve:**

- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
