Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Hot water
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated 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 buttermilk. Mix until just blended. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth.
8. Let the ganache cool for about 20 minutes, then spread it over the cooled cakes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
