Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Chocolate Components
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 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, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water; the batter will be thin, but that’s okay!
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra melty goodness.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Then, pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread chocolate ganache on top before adding the second layer. Pour more ganache over the top and sides of the cake.
- Slice, serve, and watch everyone smile with delight!
Notes
For best results, use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
