Ingredients

• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Hot fudge sauce
• 2 cups Whipped cream
• 10 pieces Maraschino cherries
• 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles
• 0.5 cup Crushed peanuts
• 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin – this is okay.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of hot fudge sauce over the top.

Step 8

Add the second cake layer and spread another thin layer of hot fudge sauce on top.

Step 9

Generously spread whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 10

Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream and let it cascade down the sides.

Step 11

Decorate the top with maraschino cherries, rainbow sprinkles, and crushed peanuts.

Step 12

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 13

Slice and serve with extra hot fudge sauce if desired.
