Preparation and Assembly

Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until smooth. Slowly stir in boiling water until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake the Cake
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

In separate bowls, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Divide the whipped cream into three bowls. In the first bowl, fold in melted dark chocolate; in the second bowl, fold in melted milk chocolate; and in the third bowl, fold in melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
