How I make it

In a stand mixer with the paddle, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth and soft.
Add all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, sugar and sifted cocoa) and mix until crumbly.
Add both eggs at once and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds, until absorbed.
Add the boiling water and mix until smooth.
Pour into 2 greased or parchment-lined loaf pans, almost to the top.
Bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 40 minutes.

What I've learned

For a parve (dairy-free) cake, I use margarine instead of butter.
