Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
- 6-8 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker or grill to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Place the pans on the preheated smoker or grill and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cakes are baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, salt, and enough milk to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Mix well.
- Once the cakes are done, remove them from the smoker or grill and allow them to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top of one of the cakes. Place the second cake on top.
- Use the remaining chocolate ganache to frost the entire cake, covering it with a delicious layer of chocolatey goodness.
