Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside while preparing wet ingredients.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar, then add milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until lumpy, then combine with dry ingredients.
  3. Chop chocolate and combine with cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat until smooth, then let thicken.
  4. Preheat griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly, pour batter to form pancakes, cooking until bubbles form, then flip.
  5. Stack pancakes, drizzle with ganache, and serve immediately.
