👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a round cake pan.
In a small bowl, mix milk and vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create buttermilk.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk (milk + vinegar), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
3️⃣ Add Coffee for Extra Moisture:
Slowly pour in the warm coffee and mix until smooth. The batter will be slightly runny—this is normal!
4️⃣ Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool completely before adding ganache.
5️⃣ Make the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat the whipping cream until just simmering (do not boil).
Pour over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Add butter and whisk until smooth and glossy.
6️⃣ Assemble & Serve:
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides for a stunning finish.
Let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy every bite of this rich, decadent chocolate cake!
