Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
