Ingredients

Cake Base
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Carefully stir in the boiling water until well incorporated.
5. Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
Milky Way Filling
7. Melt Milky Way Bars
Chop the Milky Way candy bars into small pieces. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped Milky Way bars, stirring until melted and smooth.
8. Cool Filling
Let the Milky Way filling cool to room temperature before using it in the cake.
Chocolate Ganache Topping
9. Prepare Ganache
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
10. Cool Ganache
Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens before pouring over the cooled cake.
Assembly
11. Layer the Cake
Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a cake stand. Spread the Milky Way filling evenly over the top.
12. Add Second Layer
Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
13. Top with Ganache
Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
