📋 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

For the Finish:

📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep & Preheat
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
4️⃣ Add Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water—batter will be thin, but that’s what makes it so moist!
5️⃣ Bake
Divide batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool Down
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7️⃣ Frost It Up
Spread chocolate ganache between the layers, then cover the top and sides. Smooth it out for that luxe look.
8️⃣ 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.
