Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in boiling water. The batter will be thin. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. To make the chocolate ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
  7. In a separate saucepan, combine butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate ganache. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the top of the cake. Place the other cake layer on top and spread the remaining ganache over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
