Instructions:

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped semisweet chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Ganache:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the finely chopped semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring it over the cooled cake.
