Chocolate Cake

Name: Chocolate Cake
Ingredients: 1 cup boiling water; 1 1/4 cups sugar; 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup regular cocoa powder, such as Hershey's; 2 large room-temperature eggs; 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened (I use salted); 2 teaspoons instant espresso or instant coffee; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; powdered sugar; I really think that pouring boiling water over the cocoa is the key to the cake's lush texture and fantastic flavor.; The original recipe also says something about lining the pans with parchment paper, but I used Pam baking spray with the flour in it, and everything slid right out.
