1. Preheat and Prep
● Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
● Grease all three So Yummy Round Pans lightly with butter or nonstick spray
and dust them with a bit of flour.
2. Make the Cake Batter
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda,
baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture with a mixer on
medium speed until smooth (about 2 minutes).
3. Carefully stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin, but that’s okay).
3. Bake the Cakes
1. Divide the batter evenly between the three pans. Use a spoon or spatula to
smooth the tops.
2. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Remove the cakes and allow them to cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Then,
carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
4. Make the Ganache
1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to
simmer (don’t let it boil).
2. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3
minutes.
3. Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy, then mix in the butter until
combined. Allow the ganache to cool slightly until it thickens but is still pourable.
5. Assemble the Cake
1. Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer
of ganache on top.
2. Repeat the process with the second and third layers, stacking them evenly.
3. Pour the remaining ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip slightly over
the sides for a stunning finish. Use an offset spatula to smooth it out.
6. Serve and Enjoy
● Allow the cake to set for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Slice, serve,
and enjoy the rich layers of chocolate goodness!
Tips:
● Perfect Ganache: For added shine, don’t skip the butter—it makes the ganache
glossy and luxurious.
● Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to the batter for a mocha
twist, or top the cake with berries for a pop of color.
● Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room
temperature or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
