Chocolate Ganache Cake Recipe 🍫🎂

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs 🥚
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the Ganache:

1 cup heavy cream 🥛
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Stir in boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely.
Prepare the ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Assemble: Place one cake layer on a plate, pour ganache over the top, spreading evenly. Place the second layer on top, and pour the remaining ganache over the entire cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Enjoy this ultra-rich chocolate delight! 🍫😋
