Delicious Tuxedo Cake ### Ingredients:

For the chocolate cake:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the vanilla cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
For the chocolate ganache:
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the chocolate cake. Mix well. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract, and beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in boiling water until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
For the vanilla cake, repeat the process using the vanilla cake ingredients. Bake in a separate set of prepared pans.
Once all the cakes have cooled, prepare the ganache by heating the cream until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
Assemble the cake by layering the chocolate and vanilla cakes alternately. Frost with the chocolate ganache, covering the top and sides evenly.
Let it set for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy every decadent bite!

We hope you enjoy making this tuxedo cake as much as we did. Its beautiful layers and delightful flavors are sure to make your dessert table shine!
