Ingredients

For the Cake:

● 1¾ cups all-purpose flour

● 1¾ cups granulated sugar

● ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

● 1½ tsp baking powder

● 1½ tsp baking soda

● 1 tsp salt

● 2 large eggs

● 1 cup whole milk

● ½ cup vegetable oil

● 2 tsp vanilla extract

● 1 cup boiling water

For the Finish:

● 1 cup chocolate ganache (your favorite recipe or store-bought)

● Chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

Prep & Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Mix the Dry

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add Wet Ingredients

Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add Boiling Water

Carefully stir in the boiling water—batter will be thin, but that’s what makes it so moist!

Bake

Divide batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool Down

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Frost It Up

Spread chocolate ganache between the layers, then cover the top and sides. Smooth it out for that luxe look.

Garnish & Serve

Top with elegant chocolate shavings and serve with a smile (and maybe a glass of milk or espresso ).

Pro Tip: Want to go all out? Add a layer of raspberry preserves between the cakes for a fruity twist, or serve with whipped cream and fresh berries!

This cake is rich, elegant, and absolutely unforgettable—just like a true chocolate symphony.
