Ingredients
– 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
– ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup whole milk

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your amazing Dubai Chocolate Cake:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add Eggs and Milk: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
4. Add Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s what gives it moisture.
5. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
6. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
7. Cool the Cakes: Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10-15 minutes. Then, remove them and place them on wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Frosting: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth.
9. Frost the Cake: Once the cakes have cooled, spread the frosting between the layers and on top and sides of the cake.
10. Garnish: Finish by adding chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top for a decorative touch.
By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Dubai Chocolate Cake that will leave everyone wanting more!
