Directions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add boiling water and mix until well combined (batter will be thin).
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the Ganache:
- Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until just about to boil.
- Pour over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Mousse Filling:
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in melted chocolate until well combined.
- Make the Buttercream Frosting:
- Beat butter until creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low until combined.
- Add milk and vanilla and beat on high until light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate mousse over it.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Spread chocolate ganache evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Pipe or spread chocolate buttercream around the edges or over the cake as desired.
- Decorate:
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, mini chocolate bars, and whipped cream.
- Add sprinkles if you like for extra flair.
- Serve:
- Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache and frosting.
- Slice and enjoy your chocolate overload explosion!
Notes
- Dig in and savor every bite! 🍴
- For extra gooeyness, drizzle some of the ganache between the cake layers.
- Make ahead: You can bake the cake layers and prepare the mousse and ganache a day in advance. Assemble the cake just before serving.
