Preparation Steps:
For the Chocolate Cake:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 3: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Gradually stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
Step 5: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Step 6: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
Step 1: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
Step 2: Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Step 3: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute.
Step 4: Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy.
Step 5: Allow the ganache to cool to a pourable consistency.
Assembling the Cake:
Step 1: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Pour a portion of the chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Step 2: Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
Step 3: Pour the remaining ganache over the top of the cake, spreading it gently to the edges.
Step 4: Optional: Decorate the cake with chocolate shavings, edible flowers, or other embellishments for a beautiful finish.
