Ingredients

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

- Transfer the cakes to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting, and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra touch, you can add chocolate chips to the batter or top the cake with fresh berries.
Make sure the cakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
