Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 6-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 wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Repeat with the second layer.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.

Enjoy!
