Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Step 3: Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. Step 4: Add boiling water to the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Step 8: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Step 9: Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined. Step 10: Divide the frosting into four bowls.

Spread a thin layer of frosting on the top and sides of the cake to create a crumb coat. Step 15: Place the cake in the fridge for 15 minutes to set the crumb coat.
