Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake:

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache (Optional but recommended):

• ½ cup heavy cream
• 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare Your Pans

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and lightly dust them with flour, or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Chocolate Cake Batter

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
2. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring gently. The batter will be thin—this ensures a moist cake.
