Ingredients

For the chocolate cake:

• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 1½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot coffee or hot water

For the cream filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate ganache:

• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
4. Slowly stir in hot coffee or water. The batter will be thin.
5. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool the cakes completely.
7. Whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
8. Heat the remaining heavy cream until steaming, pour over chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth. Let the ganache cool until spreadable.
9. Spread the whipped cream over the first cake layer. Place the second layer on top.
10. Cover with chocolate ganache and refrigerate until set.

Baking Tips

Use unsweetened cocoa powder for rich chocolate flavor. Let the cake layers cool completely before adding the cream filling.

Keep the finished cake refrigerated because it contains whipped cream.
