Follow these steps to create your fabulous Triple Chocolate Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined.
4. Incorporate Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, pour it over the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.
9. Make the Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing on low speed. Add vanilla extract and a splash of milk until you reach a spreadable consistency.
10. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top, followed by a portion of ganache. Place the second layer on top and repeat. Finish by placing the last layer on top and frosting the entire cake with remaining frosting.
11. Drizzle with Ganache: Pour any remaining ganache over the top of the frosted cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for an elegant touch.
