Ingredients

• For the Chocolate Cake:

• - 2 cups granulated sugar
• - ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• - 2 teaspoons baking soda
• - 1 teaspoon baking powder
• - 1 teaspoon salt
• - 1 cup buttermilk
• - ½ cup vegetable oil
• - 2 large eggs
• - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• - 1 cup boiling water
• For the Fudge Filling:
• - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• - 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• - ¼ cup unsalted butter
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Chocolate Ganache:
• - 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
4. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the batter equally among the prepared cake pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the fudge filling. In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the fudge filling evenly over it. Repeat with the second layer.
10. Place the third cake layer on top and gently press it down.
11. To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips and butter in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
12. Pour the ganache over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
13. Use a spatula to smooth the ganache on the top and sides of the cake.
14. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
15. Serve and enjoy the decadent Fabulous Fudge Chocolate Cake!
