Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 5 drops red food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the boiling water to the batter while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To prepare the frosting, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gradually fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until well combined and fluffy.

Step 9

If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to the frosting and gently fold to give it a touch of romantic color.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place the first cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.

Step 11

Place the second cake layer on top of the frosted layer and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 12

For an optional garnish, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper on top or add chocolate shavings.

Step 13

Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Slice and enjoy your Burning Love Chocolate Cream Cake!
