Chocolate Cake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water until well combined.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fudge Filling

    In a saucepan, melt unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat. Stir in heavy cream and powdered sugar until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Volcano

    Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread fudge filling on top, then place the second cake layer on top of the filling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve slices of the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
