"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour the bottom and sides of two 8" round cake pans. Mix all of the cake ingredients in a large bowl and divide batter evenly between the two pans.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes back with just a few crumbs (no gooey batter), 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Make the Ganache: Pour heavy cream into a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the heavy cream to a simmer, and once you see tiny bubbles form around the edges, remove from heat and add chocolate chips, whisking until combined. Let mixture chill until it reaches a spreadable consistency, at least 30 minutes, before frosting cake.

Top one round cake with ganache frosting, then place the second cake on top of it. Frost the top and sides of the cake. Serve.
