How to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

Making this cake is simple and fun. Follow the step-by-step guide below, and you’ll have a mouthwatering dessert in no time.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped (for ganache)
1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans to keep the cake from sticking.
In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until mixed well.
Add in the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix everything together until it’s smooth. Then, carefully stir in the boiling water. Don’t worry! The batter will be thin.
Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans and bake for 35 minutes. When done, a toothpick should come out clean.
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream until it simmers. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it’s smooth and shiny.
After the cakes cool, frost them with the chocolate ganache and enjoy every bite!

How to Serve Triple Chocolate Cake

This cake is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. You can also add fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for a nice touch.

How to Store Triple Chocolate Cake

Once the cake is completely cool, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you’re keeping it longer, you can refrigerate it for about a week. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best taste!

Tips to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for richer flavor.
If you want a thicker frosting, allow the ganache to sit for a few minutes until it thickens.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.

Variation

You can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the ganache for a salty-sweet combo, or replace semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a twist!
