1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Let’s jump into how you can make this chocolate lover’s dream:
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to this dry mix, blending until smooth.
Slowly mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, that’s okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
Make your fudge frosting using the recipe below.
Frost one layer of cake, then stack the second one on top and frost the whole cake.
Top it off with ganache from the recipe.
After the ganache sets, cut a slice and enjoy this chocolaty delight.
Chocolate Fudge Frosting:
For the luscious chocolate fudge frosting, gather up these ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Here’s how to make that rich and creamy frosting:
Beat the butter in a large bowl until smooth.
Gradually add the sugar and cocoa, mixing until well combined.
Pour in the milk and vanilla slowly, and keep mixing until fluffy.
Now you have the perfect frosting to top your cake with.
Ganache Drip:
For the stunning ganache drip, grab:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
Here’s a simple guide to making the perfect ganache:
Put the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the cream in a pan until it simmers, then pour it over the chocolate.
Wait 2-3 minutes, then whisk until it’s a glossy ganache.
Now, your ganache drip masterpiece is ready for the cake.
Eat and enjoy the rich Death by Chocolate Cake. Each bite is pure happiness.
