Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.

Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth; it will be thin.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.

While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting by beating together the butter and powdered sugar.

Add heavy cream and beat until light and fluffy.

Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread frosting on top.

Add the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Drizzle chocolate ganache over the top for decoration.

Let the cake set for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
