Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
