Decadent Chocolate Cake with Rich Chocolate Sauce

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour, dark cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. The batter will be thick.

Add Boiling Water: Carefully add the boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will become thin, but that’s normal. This makes the cake moist and tender.

Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

How to Make the Chocolate Sauce:
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate into pieces. Set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and let it melt completely, stirring occasionally.

Add Cream and Butter: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the heavy cream and butter until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.

Serve: Pour the rich chocolate sauce over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
