Bake the Cake

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

Carefully stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth (the batter will be thin).

Add Boiling Water

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Bake

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Cool the Cakes

In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until combined. Melt milk chocolate chips and let cool slightly before adding to the butter mixture. Beat until smooth.

Prepare the Milk Chocolate Buttercream

In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.

Prepare the Ganache

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of milk chocolate buttercream on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides with the remaining buttercream. Pour ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Assemble the Torte
