Creating Chocolate Fudge Cake is an enjoyable process when following these simple steps:

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

2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well blended.

4. Incorporate Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water. Note that the batter will be thin. This step ensures a moist cake.

5. Add Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra richness.

6. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.

7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool Cakes: Once baked, let the cakes cool in their pans for 20-25 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

9. Prepare Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, you can prepare your favorite chocolate frosting.

10. Assemble the Cake: Once cooled, place one layer of cake on a serving platter, spread a layer of frosting on top, and then place the second layer of cake on top. Frost the top and sides as desired.
