Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the boiling water. The batter will become thin, but this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To prepare the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 9

Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Stir in the butter until fully incorporated into the ganache.

Step 11

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of ganache on top.

Step 12

Place the second cake layer on top of the first and spread the remaining ganache evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 13

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the ganache set before serving.

Step 14

Slice and enjoy your Double Choc Delight Cake!
