Instructions
For the Cake:

Step 3: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Gradually add boiling water, stirring continuously. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
Step 5: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Step 6: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Frosting:
Step 8: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Step 9: Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 10: Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake.
Step 11: Decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or birthday candles as desired.
Step 12: Slice and enjoy this delicious chocolate birthday cake with friends and family!
