Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture is the backbone of our Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-2-mix-the-wet-ingredients\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Mix_the_Wet_Ingredients\"><\/span>Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until well combined. Finally, stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is key to making a moist cake.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and place on a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-4-prepare-the-rich-chocolate-ganache\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Prepare_the_Rich_Chocolate_Ganache\"><\/span>Step 4: Prepare the Rich Chocolate Ganache<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>While the cakes are cooling, it&#39;s time to prepare the ganache.
