How to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

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.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it’s smooth.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay!
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How to Serve Triple Chocolate Cake

Once your cake cools, you can top it with a luscious chocolate ganache made from heavy cream and dark chocolate. Slice and serve it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some fresh berries for an extra treat!

How to Store Triple Chocolate Cake

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, pop it in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to a month; just wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap.

Tips to Make Triple Chocolate Cake

Make sure to measure your ingredients correctly for the best results.
Using room temperature eggs and milk can help the batter mix more smoothly.
Feel free to add some chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top for decoration!

Variation

For a twist, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture. You can also substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate for a sweeter cake.

FAQs

1. Can I use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, using cake flour can make your cake even softer, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly.

2. How can I tell when the cake is done baking?
A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

3. What if I don’t have boiling water?
You can heat water until it’s very hot in the microwave or on the stove, but it needs to be near boiling for the best texture.

Now you’re all set to create this fantastic Triple Chocolate Cake! Enjoy every delicious bite!
