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.
  • Slice and enjoy your Smokin' and Grillin' Chocolate Infusion Cake with the perfect balance of rich chocolate flavor and a hint of smoky goodness.
