Ingredients

1.75 cups flour
2.25 cups granulated sugar
0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoons salt
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
0.5 cups canola oil
1 cups milk
2 units eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 tablespoons anisette liqueur
1.5 cups heavy cream
1.5 teaspoons sugar
0.333333333333 cups chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans and fit with two circles of parchment paper. Butter the paper and pan sides and dust with flour. Set aside.
Bring a small sauce of water to a boil and maintain. Combine the flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Beat in the oil, milk, eggs, vanilla and anisette liqueur using a mixer set on medium speed for 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low and add 1 cup of the boiling water.
Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake until a wooden sketer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean - about 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Unmold the cakes and return to the wire rack until completely cool.
2. Make the frosting: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa until combined.
3. Assemble the cake: Place one layer on a cake plate. Spread a third of the frosting over the layer. Sprinkle with half of the chocolate chips. Top with the remaining layer and spread the remaining froting over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
