💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener.

Sift all dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to avoid lumps.

Mix all the sifted dry ingredients together.

Add eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and milk to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined.

Gradually add hot water to the mixture and continue mixing until smooth.

Pour the batter into an 8-inch square pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes.

Check if the cake is ready by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Prepare the chocolate ganache by combining dark chocolate and milk chocolate in a bowl with heavy cream.

Microwave the mixture for about 1.5 minutes until melted, then whisk until smooth and well combined.

Add a pinch of salt to the ganache for enhanced flavor and let it sit until ready to use.

Once the cake is completely cool, pour the chocolate ganache on top to frost the cake.
