Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Fudge Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk until evenly blended.
Add milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, mixing until smooth.
Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring until the batter is well-combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
