Instructions
- For Accurate results, always weigh all your ingredients the flour and water specially. Measuring cups we tend to put more flour than required resulting in a dense texture. A weighing scale does not cost much and it will help save your valuable time by getting every recipe right at the very first attempt.
- Preheat oven to 350ΒΊF/180ΒΊC. Lightly greaseΒ two 9 inch pans with oil. Apply some cocoa powder at the edges. Place two round parchment papers at the bottom. Set aside.
- Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Whisk in sugar, then add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Whisk well to combine until lump free, about 30 seconds.
- Pour boiling water into batter, mixing well. Cake batter will be thin in consistency.
- Divide the batter into two round 9 inch cake tins. Baked each layer at 180c for 40-45mins or till toothpick comes out with no wet crumbs.
- Once done allow to cool in a cooling rack before inverting them. Loosen the edges with the help of a spatula or back of a spoon. Then invert it into a plate.

Notes
Always use a Good Quality Cocoa Powder like Hersheys. For the Ganache too i used semi sweet chocolate chips with heavy whipping cream.
