Many years ago I tasted a chocolate cake that was absolutely the best cake I had ever tasted. I got the recipe and would make it often. Unfortunatley, I’ve misplaced the recipe! This one is a close second.
Sift flour and measure 2 cups. Add baking soda and salt, then sift again. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Split vanilla bean, scrape out seeds and add them to the butter mixture.
Add the milk and flour. Mix thoroughly.
Add batter evenly to two 8-inch non-stck cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Unmold and allow to completely cool. Glaze with Chocolate Ganache.
