Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup boiling water
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, then set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the boiling water to the batter. The mixture will be thin—this is normal.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

For the mousse layer, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler and allow to cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks.

Step 8

Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Spread the mousse over the top of the cooled cake.

Step 9

To make the ganache, heat 0.5 cups of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over 0.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 10

Pour the ganache over the mousse layer, spreading it evenly to cover the surface of the cake.

Step 11

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set the mousse and ganache layers.

Step 12

Slice, serve, and enjoy the utter decadence of 'Chocolate Sin'!
