Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan and lightly flour it with a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder. (Alternatively, grease (2) 9" round pans or prepare (24) cupcake liners.)
Stir together all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in boiling water, continue stirring to combine. The batter should be very thin and watery. Pour into prepared bundt pan or divide between two round pans or cupcake holders.
Bake the bundt cake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. (2) 9" rounds will bake in 30-35 minutes and cupcakes will bake in 22-24 minutes. Cool completely.
Frosting Directions:
Heat the cream on the stove-top over low heat until steaming, or in a medium size glass bowl in the microwave until simmering. (About 2 minutes at high heat was all it took in the microwave.) Remove from heat and add the chocolate to the hot cream. Let this sit for a few minutes then stir or whisk to combine, until the chocolate mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add the sugar and cocoa powder, stir until completely smooth. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake. Serve immediately or place the cake in the refrigerator to chill until the frosting is set.
