Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour the boiling water into the batter, stirring consistently. The batter will be thin, but that's normal for this cake.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Add the cayenne pepper to the ganache and mix well. Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch more cayenne, if desired.
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of ganache over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread ganache over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it with an offset spatula.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar and sprinkle with red chili flakes for a fiery garnish.
Let the cake set at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving, or chill for a firmer texture. Slice and serve your Devil's Love Slave Cake with a devilish grin!
