✅️ Instructions
👉 Step 1: Cake Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool completely before removing from pans.
👉 Step 2: Chocolate Ganache
Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.
Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips.
Let sit 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Cool to room temperature before using.
👉 Step 3: Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
Mix in vanilla and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
👉 Step 4: Assembly
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of ganache on top.
Add the second layer and repeat.
Place the final layer on top and frost the entire cake with chocolate buttercream.
Drizzle with any remaining ganache.
✅️ Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Cake
➡️ Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
➡️ Don’t over-mix — it keeps the cake tender and light.
➡️ Chill the ganache slightly before spreading for easier layering.
➡️ For extra shine, warm the remaining ganache before drizzling.
