– 1 cup all-purpose flour – 1 cup granulated sugar (may be swapped for brown sugar) – 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – 1 teaspoon baking powder – 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon salt – 1/2 cup milk – 1/2 cup vegetable oil – 2 large eggs – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – 1/2 cup boiling water

Ingredients 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease & flour 9-inch round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well.

Gradually stir in the boiling water, mixing until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's okay.

Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate. Stir until smooth

Add softened butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until butter is melted and ganache is silky. Allow the ganache to cool slightly for a thicker consistency. Pour it over the cooled Chocolate Fudge Cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Use an offset spatula to spread the ganache evenly over the top of the cake. Allow the ganache to set before serving and serving. Garnish with fresh rapsberries if you desire.
