You are so right. Here is a corrected recipe:

Chocolate Cake with boiling water

65 g / 0.75 cup cocoa
225 g/ 1.75 cup flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
400 g / 2 cup sugar
2 eggs
120 ml / 0.5 cup canola oil (cooking oil)
240 ml / 1 cup milk

240 ml / 1 cup boiling water

Mix all on high for 2 minutes, add 1 cup of boiling water, mix well. Use
spatula to mix all batter from the bottom and sides of the bowl. Pour
into buttered and floured bundt form, bake 45 min or until done in the
center (the toothpick method).
