- 8 4/5 oz brown sugar
- 0.68 cup buttermilk
- 0.68 cup vegetable oil
- 4 1/5 oz plain yogurt
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 9 9/10 oz all‑purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/10 cups hot water
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 4/5 oz cocoa powder
Chocolate Crèmeux
- 7 1/10 oz dark chocolate
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 3 egg
- 7/8 oz sugar
Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 4/5 oz cream cheese
- 0.53 oz cocoa powder
- 1 1/10 oz powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 356°F (350°F) and grease a 9‑inch (23 cm) round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl whisk together the brown sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, plain yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- 3In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder; set aside.
- 4Combine the instant coffee with the hot water and stir until dissolved, then add this liquid to the wet mixture.
- 5Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated; do not over‑mix.
- 6Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 7Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 8In a saucepan combine the milk and whipping cream; heat over medium heat until just simmering.
- 9Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heat‑proof bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over it. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth to form a ganache.
- 10In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and thick.
- 11Temper the yolk mixture by slowly adding a third of the warm ganache while whisking constantly, then whisk the tempered yolks back into the remaining ganache.
- 12Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5‑7 minutes).
- 13Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- 14Just before assembling, whip the chilled crèmeux with an electric mixer until light and airy.
- 15In a mixing bowl beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- 16Add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
- 17In a separate small bowl, whip the whipping cream to soft peaks.
- 18Fold the whipped cream into the cream‑cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
- 19Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two even layers.
- 20Spread a generous layer of the cream‑cheese filling on the bottom cake layer, then top with a layer of chocolate crèmeux.
- 21Place the second cake layer on top, and spread the remaining crèmeux over the top and sides of the cake.
- 22Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.
