1️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gradually stir in boiling water until the batter is thin but well combined.
4️⃣ Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
5️⃣ Prepare the Ganache: Heat 1 cup of heavy cream until simmering. Pour over 8 oz of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let it cool until thickened.
6️⃣ Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until combined. Add milk to achieve a fluffy, spreadable frosting.
