Chocolate Truffle Cream Cake

1. Make the cake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
   • Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing until the batter is thin and smooth.
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
   • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the truffle filling:
   • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
   • Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract.
   • Stir until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
   • Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1-2 hours until it firms up to a spreadable consistency.
3. Make the cream frosting:
   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
   • Be careful not to overwhip—aim for a smooth, thick frosting.
4. Assemble the cake:
   • Place one layer of the cooled cake on a serving plate.
   • Spread the truffle filling evenly over the top.
   • Top with the second layer of cake, pressing down lightly to adhere.
5. Frost the cake:
   • Spread the cream frosting over the entire cake, smoothing the top and sides.
6. Make the chocolate drizzle (optional):
   • In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth.
   • Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the cake for a decadent finishing touch.
