Ingredients

  • 3 cups white sugar

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking soda

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups hot water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom and sides of a deep 14x17-inch baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.

  2. Sift sugar, flour, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment; whisk dry ingredients together on low.

  3. Whisk milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a separate medium bowl. Add to the flour mixture and mix at low speed until well incorporated, about 5 minutes. Gradually add hot water while mixer is on low speed until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cake cool in the pan for about 1 hour.
