Cake Preparation
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
5. Bake Layers
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool Layers
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

7. Heat Cream
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
8. Melt Chocolate
Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
9. Cool Sauce
Let the chocolate sauce sit at room temperature until slightly thickened.
