Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 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 Heavy cream
• 9 ounces Dark chocolate chips (Soy-Free)
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

For the chocolate ganache, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to boil.

Step 9

Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate chips and butter. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 10

Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable.

Step 11

Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of ganache over the top.

Step 12

Place the second cake layer on top of the first and pour the remaining ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 13

Allow the ganache to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
