Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin). Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans to cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just boiling. Pour over the chopped chocolate and butter in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Pour half of the ganache over the first layer and spread evenly.
- Top with the second layer and pour the remaining ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Let set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra touch, add a layer of chocolate mousse between the cake layers.
- Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
