Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate
• 5 drop Green food coloring
• 12 piece Gummy worms

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix well after each addition.
5. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
8. Add the green food coloring to the chocolate ganache and mix well.
9. Once the cake has cooled, pour the green ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
10. Decorate with gummy worms.
11. Serve and enjoy!
