**Chocolate Fantasy Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.
4. Stir in the boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently by hand.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy.
10. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream, until all ingredients are incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
11. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of the frosting.
12. Once the cakes have completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting over the top.
13. Carefully place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
14. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some additional chocolate chips or cocoa powder on top of the cake for decoration.
15. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
