Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
• Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing well. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.
• Divide the batter equally among the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Chocolate Ganache
• In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler.
• Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer.
• Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate and whisk until smooth and well combined.
• Let the ganache cool for about 10 minutes before using.
• Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well after each addition.
• Add the milk and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
• Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top.
• Add the second cake layer and spread another layer of chocolate ganache.
• Finally, place the third cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the chocolate buttercream frosting.
• Decorate the cake as desired.

Tips

• Make sure to properly measure the ingredients for accurate results.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
