Creating the Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Layered Bliss Cake is a straightforward process if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

3. Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

4. Add Boiling Water: Carefully stir in boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s perfectly fine.

5. Bake the Cakes: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

7. Prepare Fudge Frosting: In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix in milk and vanilla until smooth.

8. Assemble the Cake: When the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of fudge frosting on top of one cake layer. Place another layer on top and repeat.

9. Frost the Sides: Frost the sides and the top of the final layer with remaining fudge frosting.

10. Make Chocolate Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just boiling. Pour over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly.

11. Pour Ganache: Pour the ganache over the frosted cake, letting it drip down the sides for a beautiful finish.

12. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing.

By following these steps, you’ll create a visually and tastier work of art that will leave your guests in awe!
