Steps:
- Gather your ingredients and supplies. With this recipe, you'll use frosting and a few simple decorations to turn a regular cake into an amazing cookie monster cake. Before baking your cake, preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Along with your ingredients, you'll also need your materials.
- Combine the dry ingredients. Sift together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the large mixing bowl. Sifting the dry ingredients will remove lumps, and help the batter come together more easily. The less stirring and beating you do with the batter, the lighter and fluffier the cake will be. Over mixing flour develops the gluten, and this can make a cake dense and heavy.
- Pour in the wet ingredients. To the dry ingredients, add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed with the electric beaters for about two minutes. Then carefully add the boiling water and whisk everything for an additional minute. You can use a whisk instead of electric beaters to combine all the ingredients, but be sure to whisk vigorously to combine everything properly. If you're using a stand mixer instead, use the paddle attachment to make the batter.
- Fill the cake pans. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. The batter will be quite thin and runny, so be careful not to pour too quickly.
- Bake the cakes. Place the cakes in the oven and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes. They are ready when you insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and it comes out clean. Set the cakes aside to cool for 10 minutes after they come out of the oven.
- Cool the cakes. After 10 minutes, transfer the cakes to the wire cooling racks and remove the cake pans. Let the cakes cool completely before adding frosting or decorations.
