Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz white granulated sugar
- 4 1/5 oz all purpose flour
- 1 1/5 oz cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp coffee powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 1/5 oz warm water
- 4 1/5 oz buttermilk
- 2 1/10 oz vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped Ganache
- 9 1/2 oz dark chocolate
- 4 4/5 oz heavy cream
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 300°F (302°F).
- 2Sift and whisk together the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, coffee powder, and salt) in a bowl.
- 3In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients (warm water, buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract) until well combined.
- 4Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir gently until no flour streaks remain; avoid overmixing.
- 5Grease two 6‑inch round cake pans with a little oil, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and divide the batter evenly (about 340‑350 g per pan).
- 6Tap the pans on the counter to release air bubbles, then bake for 40‑45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 7Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- 8To make the whipped ganache, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to bubble, then pour it over the dark chocolate and stir until fully melted.
- 9Cover the ganache mixture and refrigerate until cold, then whisk or beat with a hand mixer until it doubles in volume and becomes lighter in color.
- 10Spread the whipped ganache over the cooled cake layers, assemble the cake, and serve.
