For the cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk

• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 cups powdered sugar

3 Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until smooth.
4 Stir in boiling water to the batter, a little at a time, until well blended.
5 Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7 Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and placing them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8 To make the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cocoa powder until smooth.
9 Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.
10 Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with the frosting, then place the other cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
