Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
