Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 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 Milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Butter, softened
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for drizzle)

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, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until smooth.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove from oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until fluffy.

Step 9

Add 3 tablespoons of heavy cream to the frosting and beat until smooth and spreadable.

Step 10

Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the frosting over the top.

Step 11

Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

Step 12

For the drizzle, heat 0.5 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam (do not boil).

Step 13

Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 14

Let the chocolate drizzle cool slightly, then spoon it over the frosted cake, letting it drip down the sides for a decorative effect.

Step 15

Refrigerate the cake for 20 minutes to set the drizzle before serving.
