Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and set the oven rack to the middle position.
- Grease a 10-inch tube pan with butter or shortening and sprinkle it with cocoa. Or spray the pan with nonstick spray (the type with flour included).
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate morsels at MEDIUM heat for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate and continue microwaving and stirring at 15-second intervals until melted. Stir until creamy and smooth.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar together at medium speed until fluffy and completely incorporated, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until incorporated after each addition.
- Add the melted chocolate and mix just until well blended.
- On low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and the sour cream alternately to the chocolate mixture. After each addition, mix the ingredients just until incorporated. Begin and end with the flour mixture. (The additions are added as follows: ⅓ of the flour mixture, ½ of the sour cream, ⅓ of the flour mixture, ½ of the sour cream, ⅓ of the flour mixture.)
- Very gradually add the hot water and beat on LOW just until blended.
- Add vanilla and stir.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tube pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift the cake by the center tube and return to the wire rack.
- While the cake cools, make the ganache. In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the cream on medium heat until a few bubbles are visible (just beginning to boil).
- Add the chocolate morsels, stirring every 15 seconds or until the chocolate melts.
- Add the butter and stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour the ganache (SEE NOTE) over the cake and sprinkle with flaked sea salt.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cake will be tough.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let cool thoroughly in the pan.
- For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.
- Place the cake upside down on a wire rack and pour the glaze evenly over the top, making sure to cover the entire cake and sides. You can tilt the rack to smooth the glaze. Decorate with candied violets, if desired, or gently crumble the gold leaf and place it on the center of the cake. Do not refrigerate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Place butter and unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted, about 5 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
- Combine buttermilk and eggs in another bowl and add melted chocolate mixture. Beat into flour mixture on low speed for 1 minute; increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until it thickens and is smooth. Allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Place one cooled cake layer on a cake plate and spread with a layer of ganache frosting. Lay the second layer on top and use remaining ganache frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.

SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FROSTING
Layer cakes are pretty, but for many, they require far too much work to make on a regular basis. This cake, adapted from "Modern Baking: Cakes, Cookies and Everything in Between" by Donna Hay, may find a place in your recipe repertoire. It requires just two bowls - one for the cake and one for the frosting - and there's no need to separate wet and dry ingredients. You just toss everything into a bowl and stir. The end result is a tender, sophisticated cake slathered with a glossy milk chocolate-sour cream ganache. Ms. Hay sprinkled black sea salt around the edges of her cake with stunning effect, but traditional white sea salt looks beautiful, too.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 8-inch round cake tins with parchment paper. Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, eggs, milk, butter, dark chocolate and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. (You may need to use a spatula to start, but use a whisk once the ingredients begin to combine.) Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tins for 10 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the ganache: Place the sour cream and melted chocolate in a large bowl. Whisk to combine and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm. Place 1 of the cakes on a cake stand or plate. Spread with half the ganache. Top with the remaining cake and ganache. Sprinkle with the salt to serve.

CHOCOLATE FANTASY CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE ICING
The first time I ever saw Emeril Lagasse was on Good Morning America. My cable TV company did not have the Food Network (I have DirecTV now to solve that problem, and to get Animal Planet as well!) The recipe he made on GMA that really impressed me and actually pushed me into my cooking craze was this flourless, rich Chocolate Fantasy Cake -- BAM and all. I have posted the cake and chocolate ganache icing as one recipe here. It is just incredible, and I hope you enjoy it!
