    Super easy - can be healthy Chocolate Cake

    Ingredients:
    1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (I use Whole Wheat cake flour)
    2 cups granulated sugar (I use 1 1/2 cup of raw sugar)
    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 large eggs (can use egg white to match 2 eggs)
    1 cup milk (I use chocolate or vanilla soya or almond milk, which helps make up for the reduced sugar!)
    1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use olive oil)
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 cup boiling water
    Preparation:
    Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. It will be insanely thick.

    Remove mixer; stir in boiling water by hand. (gently at first!)
    Pour the thin batter into a greased and floured 13x9x2-inch baking pan or two greased and floured 9-inch layer cake pans or three greased and floured 8-inch layer cake pans.

    To avoid grease and flour and to make clean up easy, I line the pans with parchment paper instead.

    Bake at 350° for about 35 minutes for a rectangular cake or 30 to 35 minutes for layers. A wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center should come out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pan on rack then remove from pan and cool completely.
    Frost as desired.
