To bake a chocolate cake from scratch, follow these steps: 
1. Gather your ingredients: You will need 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup boiling water.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
4. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
5. Carefully stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.<|im_end|>

To make a chocolate cake, just mix some flour, sugar, cocoa, and bake it in the oven. It should taste good. Just follow your gut on the baking time.<|im_end|>
