Cake

Chocolate Ganache

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line cake tins with baking paper.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, coffee, oil, and vanilla and mix well.
  4. Combine dry and wet ingredients together, taking care not to over mix.
  5. Transfer to three cake tins and bake 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Melt dark chocolate and heavy cream together and stir until smooth; let cool until spreadable.
  7. Assemble cake by filling with ganache — a messy exterior is fine.

Notes

Makes a medium 3-layer cake (7in tins). Prep coffee and buttermilk first. Messy frosted exterior is the look.
