Triple Layer Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate 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 combined.
-
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cakes 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 begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Let the ganache cool for 10 minutes.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of ganache on top. Repeat with the remaining layers. Pour the remaining ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
In a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
-
Allow the cake to rest for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
