    1 3/4 c All-purpose flour
    2 c Granulated sugar
    3/4 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1 1/2 ts Baking soda
    1 ts Salt
    2 lg Eggs
    1 c Whole milk
    1/2 c Vegetable oil
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 c Water; boiling

    MMMMM---------------------CHOCOLATE GANACHE--------------------------
    1 c Heavy cream
    8 oz Semisweet chocolate; finely
    -chopped
    2 tb Butter

    Preparation time: 20 minutes
    Cooking time: 35 minutes
    Total time: 55 minutes

    Cake:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9" round baking
    pans.

    In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking
    soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry
    ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling
    water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center
    comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove cakes
    from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.

    Chocolate Ganache:

    Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins
    to simmer.

    Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Pour hot cream over the
    chocolate and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes.

    Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Add
    butter and mix until glossy.

    Assemble the Cake:

    Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache
    over the top.

    Add the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over
    the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

    Notes:

    For an extra moist cake, brush layers with simple syrup before adding
    ganache.

    Ensure cakes are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting
    the ganache.
