Ingredients

• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Boiling water
• 1 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend everything together until the batter is smooth.

Step 4

Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, mixing continuously. The batter will become thin, which is normal—this helps ensure the cake will be fudgy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the ganache topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer—do not let it boil.

Step 9

Pour the hot cream over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Once the cake is fully cooled, pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Spread it evenly with a spatula if needed.

Step 11

Let the ganache set for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
