Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for ganache)
- 0.75 cups sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fully combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and carefully add the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the chocolate fudge filling, heat the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly before spreading over the first cake layer.
Place the second cake layer on top of the fudge filling and set the cake aside while you prepare the ganache topping.
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the remaining chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy. Stir in the butter until fully incorporated.
Pour the ganache over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to smooth the top if needed.
Let the ganache set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Triple Fudge Cake!
