Preheat the oven to 175°C (345°F) and grease a round pan 24 cm in diameter and dust with flour.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into a bowl and add the sugar and salt.

3
Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla and beat 2 minutes.

4
Add the boiling water and stir. The batter is thin, and that's fine.
💡The boiling water blooms the cocoa and deepens the flavor, and the thin batter makes an especially moist cake.
5
Pour into the pan and bake 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cool 10 minutes in the pan and turn out onto a rack.

8
Heat the cream until just about to boil and pour over the chocolate. Wait a minute without touching.
StoveSmall saucepan
9
Stir gently from the center outward, until you get a smooth, glossy cream.
💡Stir gently from the center outward: vigorous stirring beats in air, and the ganache loses its shine.
10
Add the butter and stir until it melts.

Let the cake cool completely and pour the ganache over it.
