Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually stir in boiling water. The batter will be thin.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the ganache:
- Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour over the cooled cakes.
Notes
- If the ganache is too runny, let it cool longer before pouring.
- You can substitute milk or white chocolate for the ganache for a different flavor profile.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
