Cooking Time

  • Preparation Time: 30 minutes
  • Baking Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (for ganache)
  • 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until smooth.
  4. Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is expected.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
  8. Remove the cream from the heat and add the chopped chocolate and butter. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of ganache on top of one cake, place the second layer on top, and cover the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
  10. Let the ganache set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the ganache?

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor, but keep in mind that the ganache may be less rich and slightly softer.

Can I prepare the cake layers in advance?

Absolutely! Bake the cake layers a day ahead and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Frost with ganache when ready to serve.

How do I store the leftover cake?

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
