Now that we’ve teased your taste buds, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this mouthwatering masterpiece:
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
And for the ganache that will make you weep tears of joy (a necessary step, trust me), gather the following:
Ganache Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. We want to keep this cake from sticking like that one friend who never leaves the party!
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Seriously, give it a good stir; we want them to be besties!
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Slowly combine your wet and dry ingredients. And hey, don’t forget to add that boiling water at the end—it’s the secret potion!
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (And no, we don’t mean a dirty toothpick; that’s just plain wrong!)
- While your cakes are cooling, let’s make that ganache! Heat the cream in a saucepan until it’s just about to boil. Pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl and stir until it melts into a glorious, silky smooth mixture.
- Once the cakes are cool, stack them on top of each other (with ganache in between, of course), and pour the remaining ganache on top, letting it drip down the sides like a chocolate waterfall.
- Now, just stand back and admire your work. You’ve officially created something so amazing that even chocolate itself would be jealous.
There you have it! Slice, serve, and let the chocolatey goodness take over your taste buds. It’s not just cake; it’s an experience!
