Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Sift together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture while mixing, then carefully pour in the boiling water.
Stir in the orange zest and juice, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Spread chocolate ganache between the layers and on top; garnish with fresh orange slices before serving.

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and avoid overmixing the batter.
