Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to bake this delightful cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream (for frosting)
- 8 oz. dark chocolate (for frosting)
- Chocolate shavings (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Stir in boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay! Pour it evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, melt the dark chocolate and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until combined.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, then stack the second layer on top. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.
- Lastly, decorate the cake with chocolate shavings for an added touch of elegance!
Now, grab your fork and slice a piece of this heavenly Triple Chocolate Cake! Enjoy every bite of its moist, rich chocolate goodness. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just a special treat for yourself!
