A rich chocolate cake layered with fluffy cream and topped with glossy ganache, evoking childhood memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (for ganache)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure easy removal once baked.
  2. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together until well mixed.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat for about 2 minutes on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir in the boiling water carefully. The batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.
  6. Make the filling by beating the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Layer one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream filling on top and carefully add the second layer.
  8. Heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped semi-sweet chocolate and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
  9. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
  10. Slice and serve, watching as everyone enjoys each bite.

Notes

For an extra special touch, serve with fresh berries or vanilla bean ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
