Preparation time: 20 minutes

Total time: 55 minutes
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease and flour two 9" round baking
pans.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry
ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling
water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove cakes
from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
Chocolate Ganache:
Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins
to simmer.
Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Pour hot cream over the
chocolate and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Add
butter and mix until glossy.
Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache
over the top.
Add the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over
the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Notes:
For an extra moist cake, brush layers with simple syrup before adding
ganache.
Ensure cakes are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting
the ganache.
