Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until smooth.
-
Stir in boiling water until the batter is thin. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate and butter. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and pour half of the ganache over it. Place the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over it.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Drizzle the mixture over the cake.

Let the cake rest for at least 1 hour before serving.
