Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease 2 standard cake pans well and set aside.
2
In a stand mixer, add sugar, butter, oil, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until fluffy and creamy, approximately 4 to 6 minutes.
3
Next, add one egg, and mix well before adding the next. When both eggs have been incorporated, cream the mixture for another 3 to 5 minutes.
4
While mixture is creaming, sift flour and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl and mix until completely incorporated with no lumps remaining.
5
Once butter and sugar mixture is creamy and fluffy, turn mixer to low speed. Alternating, slowly add milk and flour mixture until both flour and milk are fully incorporated.
6
Scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Turn mixer up to medium-low speed then add hot water to batter in a very slow, thin stream until fully incorporated.
7
Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each pulls out clean.
8
Cool cakes completely before removing from pans. Glaze with your favorite frosting. Cut and serve.
