- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Milk Cream Frosting:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Milk Cream Frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assembly:
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
- Spread a layer of milk cream frosting evenly over the top of the cake layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top, then frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining milk cream frosting.
- Optional: Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the heavenly indulgence of your Chocolate Cake with Milk Cream!
Notes:
- For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add chocolate chips to the cake batter before baking.
- Leftover cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days.
FAQs: Q: Can I use whipped topping instead of heavy cream for the frosting? A: While whipped topping can be used as a shortcut, the flavor and texture may not be as rich and creamy as using heavy cream.
Q: Can I freeze the cake with the milk cream frosting? A: Yes, you can freeze the cake with the milk cream frosting, but it’s best to do so before decorating with any toppings. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
