🥄 Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar 🍬
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 🥄
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 🥄
  • 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 2 large eggs 🥚
  • 1 cup whole milk 🥛
  • ½ cup vegetable oil 🌱
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 🍦
  • 1 cup boiling water (or hot coffee for a richer flavor) ☕

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped high-quality chocolate) 🍫
  • ¾ cup heavy cream 🥛
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for extra shine) 🧈

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper 🎂.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt 🥄.
  • Add wet ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth 🏆.
  • Stir in boiling water or hot coffee: The batter will be thin, but that's normal! Stir carefully to combine ☕.
  • Divide batter: Pour the batter evenly between the prepared pans 🍰.
  • Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean 🍴.
  • Cool the cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely 🌬️.

2. Make the Ganache:

  • Heat cream: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (don’t let it boil!) 🔥.
  • Pour over chocolate: Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl 🍫.
  • Whisk until smooth: Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until the ganache is smooth and glossy ✨.
  • Add butter: If you want extra shine, stir in butter until melted 🧈.

3. Assemble the Cake:

  • Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate 🍽️.
  • Spread a generous layer of ganache over the top 🍫.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over the entire cake, letting it drip down the sides for that perfect glossy finish 🌟.

4. Let it Set:

  • Allow the ganache to set at room temperature for about 1 hour before slicing and serving ⏳.

🍽️ Serve and Enjoy!

✨ Pro Tips:

  • Make ahead: You can prepare the cake layers a day ahead and store them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap 🍰.
  • Extra shine: If you love a really shiny ganache, use a touch more butter! 🧈
  • Storage: Keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days (if there are any!) 🥳.

🎉 More Ideas:

  • Add a twist: Try adding a layer of chocolate mousse or whipped cream between the cake layers for an extra treat! 🧁
