Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1¾ cups granulated sugar
– ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1½ tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan. Set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and well combined.
5. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until it is fully incorporated into the batter. The batter will be thin, but that’s perfectly normal.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure it bakes evenly.
7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
9. Carefully transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
10. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch before slicing and enjoying your Black Midnight Cake!
