Recipe below 🤎🍫 2 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 3 cups granulated sugar 1 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tbsp baking soda 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt 3 large eggs (room temperature) 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 3/4 cup neutral oil 1 1/2 cups strong brewed hot coffee Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line three 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until fully combined and lump-free. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and oil until smooth and well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly pour in the hot coffee and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be very thin and runny, this is normal. Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared pans. Bake for 30–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. Chocolate Ganache 🍫 1 cup chocolate chips 1 cup heavy whipping cream Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it is hot and just beginning to simmer around the edges, do not boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit undisturbed for 1–2 minutes to melt. Gently whisk until the mixture becomes completely smooth, glossy, and fully combined. For best results, let the ganache cool at room temperature for 2–3 hours until it thickens and sets properly. This resting time is essential for achieving the perfect spreadable consistency for frosting or layering. #EasyRecipe #chocolatecake #chocolateganache #baketok #cakedecorating - @avneets.eats
