Ingredients

For the Chocolate Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups 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

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 4 cups 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. You can also use my SnG Food thermometer.

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.

Slice and enjoy your Chocolate Cake with the perfect balance of rich chocolate flavor!
