Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water, it will make the batter thin but that’s normal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chopped semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the butter and vanilla extract to the ganache, stirring until everything is well combined. Set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
- Once the cake is cooled, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
- Pour the prepared ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the ganache.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the ganache to set.
