Step 1: Bake the Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add in eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
4. Gently stir in boiling water until the batter is well combined (the batter will be thin).
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Topping

1. While the cakes are cooling, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
2. Add sugar to the chocolate mixture, then stir in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Finally, fold in flour and salt until just combined.

Step 3: Assemble

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) again.
2. Place one cake layer on a baking sheet. Pour half of the brownie batter over the top, spreading it evenly.
3. Top with the second cake layer and pour the remaining brownie batter over it.
4. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the brownie layer is set but still gooey in the middle.
5. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding rainbow sprinkles on top for that cosmic finish!

Tips and Variations

• Make it a Layer Cake: For added height, make an extra cake layer and add more brownie batter in between.
• Allergy-Friendly Options: Swap eggs for unsweetened applesauce or flaxseed meal if you need a vegan version.
• Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
