- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup Dulce de Leche (Arequipe)
- 1 cup Nutella
Instructions:
For the Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assembly:
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate.
- Spread the Dulce de Leche (Arequipe) evenly over the top of the cake layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
- Warm the Nutella slightly to make it easier to spread, then spread it evenly over the top of the cake.
- Optionally, drizzle more Nutella over the sides of the cake for decoration.
