Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
