THE BEST CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
This divine chocolate ganache cake is exceptionally moist, insanely delicious, and by far the best chocolate ganache cake ever! The combination of natural cocoa powder, nutty-flavored coffee, and creamy ganache gives this cake the most intense flavor and the perfect texture!

Steps:
- Bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle boil and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Set it aside for one minute.
- Whisk the two ingredients until it's all combined. Next, add the softened butter and whisk until your ganache becomes homogenous.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and set it aside for a couple of hours before assembling. A rested ganache gives the best texture for spreading!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottoms of two 9" round baking pans with parchment paper and grease the sides with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda. Set it aside.
- In a separate, large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar. Gradually add oil and whisk until it's all combined. Add the milk, coffee, and vanilla extract, gently whisking with every addition
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until it's all combined. The batter will be light and fairly runny; that's totally normal.
- Transfer batters to the prepared pans. Bake in the middle rack for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack. Finally, allow an additional 40-45 minutes of cooling; the cakes should be at room temperature before assembling.
- Slice a bit off the top of each cake to remove the domes and even the cakes out.
- Place a large dollop of the ganache into the center of the first cake and spread it out using an offset spatula.
- Carefully place the second cake over the top, crumb-side down.
- Spread the remaining ganache over the top and the sides.
- Top your cake off with fresh berries or your favorite cake topping! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 345 (370 for high altitude)
- Prepare three 8 or 9 inch round cake pans (if doing 8 inch pans I suggest 3 inches tall pans, or four of the 2 inch tall 8 inch pans) I use parchment paper circles on the bottom and a non stick spray on the sides
- Melt the baking chocolate in double broiler (or in a bowl over a simmering pot of water) then let it cool.
- In a large bowl, or bowl of a mixer add the sugar, flour, soda and salt and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl (or a large glass measuring cup) mix the boiling water and cocoa and let sit for a min (this lets the cocoa bloom and bring out a richer flavor)
- Then add the sour cream and oil and whisk.
- Add the wet mixture in a stream to the dry ingredients and mix until blended.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs slowly while beating on low.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate and mix until uniform in color.
- Bake at 345 40-45 mins (raise the heat by 25 degrees and lower the time by 5 mins for high altitude)
- Place the chocolate into a large bowl
- in a saucepan heat the cream - until just about to simmer
- Pour it over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 mins - then stir
- Let the ganache cool to room temp
- Beat butter and add 1 C powdered sugar
- beat in the corn syrup
- add more powdered sugar 1/2 cup as a time until you achieve a thick buttercream
- pour the ganache into the buttercream and beat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans. Stir together the cocoa and boiling water from the first set of ingredients. Set aside to cool. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder, set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the cocoa mixture. Mix only until combined. Divide evenly between the three prepared pans, and spread the batter out flat.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool cakes on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla. When the cream becomes thick, add the confectioners' sugar and continue to whip until stiff but not too grainy. Divide into three parts and spread onto two of the cooled layers. Stack the layers onto a nice plate, putting the two creamed ones on the bottom. Place the plain layer on the top. If there is a hump on the top of the cake, trim it off with a long serrated knife. Frost the sides with the chocolate buttercream frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the remaining ingredients, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cocoa until light and fluffy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost sides of the cake, leaving a ridge that sticks up over the top edge. Spread the remaining cream filling over the top of the cake. Garnish with sprinkles, chocolate curls or seasonal fresh fruit.

RICH CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease two 6-inch pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour the Devil's Food Cake batter into the prepared pans and bake, as directed, adjusting the cooking time to 25 to 30 minutes for the smaller size.
- While the cakes are cooling, bring the ganache to a workable consistency (about the consistency of peanut butter) by heating it over a double boiler and then allowing it to cool slightly, at room temperature.
- Place the bottom cake layer over a piece of parchment or waxed paper to catch the ganache if it drips when you spread it. (You can reheat the ganache that has dripped and reuse it as desired, as long as it is free of cake crumbs.)
- Spread the ganache about 1/2 inch thick onto the bottom layer and then gently press the second cake layer on top. Spread a thin layer of ganache around the sides and top of the cake as a crumb coat and let it set at room temperature. (See Icing a Cake, page 14.)
- Once the crumb coat has set, reheat the ganache, if necessary, just until it is spreadable once again, then finish icing the cake with the ganache.
- While the ganache is still soft enough for the hazelnuts to stick to it, gently press the hazelnuts, one small handful at a time, into the sides of the cake until it is covered. Let the cake set at room temperature for 20 to 40 minutes before serving.
- The cake can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring the cake to room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
- Polish your look
- By simply changing the flavor of the ganache, this cake can be perfect for all sorts of occasions. Here are some suggestions:
- For an Asian-inspired dinner party, make the ganache with sake instead of hazelnut liqueur and sprinkle the top lightly with mixed black and toasted sesame seeds.
- For anniversaries or other celebratory events, make the ganache with champagne instead of hazelnut liqueur and decorate around the perimeter of the top with rock sugar crystals.
- For holiday cheer, make the ganache with peppermint extract instead of hazelnut liqueur and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- For a not-all-chocolate version, make the ganache with Campari or Grand Marnier instead of hazelnut liqueur and use it only to fill between the two cake layers. Ice the outside with orange Citrus Cream Cheese Icing (page 146) and garnish with candied orange peel.
