Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, combine eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and sour cream. Mix in cocoa powder until smooth.
Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients while mixing gently. Stir in boiling water until just combined.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
For the frosting, melt dark chocolate and beat with cream cheese until smooth. Mix in corn syrup, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and gradually fold in chilled heavy cream.
Once cooled, frost the layers with the chocolate fudge frosting.
