Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Chocolate Components
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Baking
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Making the Ganache
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers.
- Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Stir the mixture until smooth.
Assembly
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate.
- Spread chocolate ganache on top, then place the second layer on top and pour more ganache over the entire cake.
Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting for a smoother batter. Do not skip the boiling water as it helps to activate the cocoa powder and creates a moist cake. You can use chocolate frosting instead of ganache for a quicker option.
