Steps:
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven 350 F / 175 C. Set an oven rack in the middle rack of the oven. Note that for all recipes in this website, I am using conventional oven (no fan).
- Make the cocoa mixture. Grease and line the bottom of three 8x2 pans (Note 1).Make the cocoa mixture. In a bowl (preferably with a spout), whisk the cocoa and boiling water until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the flour mixture.Make the flour mixture by sifting the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk them together.
- Make the batter. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low then add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each addition is incorporated before adding the next one. Scrape the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- Combine the cocoa mixture and the flour mixture.Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture in four parts, alternating with the cocoa mixture in three parts. Beat until each addition is incorporated before adding the next. Be careful not to overmix.Divide the batter between the pans and smooth the surfaces.
- Bake the cakes.Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. (Note 2)
- Cool the cakes.Let the cakes cool in the pans on wire racks for about 15 mins. Run a metal spatula between the sides of the pans and invert the cakes onto wire racks that have been coated with nonstick spray. Peel off the parchment and reinvert onto wire racks to cool completely.

- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
