1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or a 9×13-inch pan.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Slowly add the boiling water and mix until combined (the batter will be thin).
3. Bake the Cake:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes (for round pans) or 35-40 minutes (for a rectangular pan), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Cool the Cake:
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make the Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add the vanilla, salt, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth and spreadable.
