Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring they’re well coated to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly distributed.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate boiling water: Carefully stir in the boiling water into the batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Assemble by placing one layer on a serving plate. Spread cherry pie filling on top, add the second layer of cake. Optionally, top with more cherry pie filling.

Notes

For extra moisture, ensure your ingredients are at room temperature. This cake pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream.
