Description
A rich and indulgent dessert that chocolate lovers dream of, combining cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just boiling.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Stir until the ganache is smooth. Once the cakes are completely cool, pour the ganache over the top.
Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. Don’t skip the boiling water; it helps to ensure a moist cake.
