Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
-
Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
-
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle it over the cake. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Layer Cake!
