Title: Chocolate Heaven
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp salt
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup whole milk
– ½ cup vegetable oil
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1 tsp instant coffee granules
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– Optional: chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the batter is smooth.
4. Stir in the boiling water slowly, mixing until everything is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s the secret to the cake’s moistness.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and butter. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
7. Stir in the instant coffee granules until dissolved. Let the ganache cool to room temperature.
8. Once the ganache has cooled, beat it with a hand mixer while gradually adding the powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
9. Spread the ganache over the cooled cake, creating a thick and luxurious layer.
10. For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle chocolate shavings over the ganache.
11. Slice and serve your Chocolate Heaven cake to the delight of friends and family. Watch as they savor each bite of this heavenly creation.
