Grease and flour two 9" round baking pans. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks. Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Add butter and mix until glossy. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache over the top. Add the second cake layer on top and pour the remaining ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Notes: For an extra moist cake, brush layers with simple syrup before adding ganache. Ensure cakes are completely cooled before assembling to avoid melting the ganache.
