Method
 

Basic Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This sets the perfect temperature for baking your cake to fluffy perfection.
  2. Prepare two heart-shaped cake pans by greasing and flouring them. This ensures your cakes slide right out when they’re ready!
  3. Combine in a large bowl: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until everything is well mixed.
  4. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat this mixture for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and well-combined.
  5. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and thin, intensifying the chocolate flavor.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans, filling them about halfway.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
  8. Cool the cakes completely in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks.
  9. Frost the top of one cake layer with buttercream, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
  10. Decorate your masterpiece with the Betty Boop cake topper to bring smiles to all!
