Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Dust them lightly with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To make the hot fudge sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and corn syrup.

Step 8

Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Slice the chocolate cake and serve warm with the hot fudge sauce drizzled generously over the top.
