Ingredients

Servings

• 8 ounce Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 3 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy Cream
• 4 ounce Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips
• 4 ounce Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Whipping Cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered Sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and unsalted butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, alternating with the heavy cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate truffle ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips and Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
7. In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
8. Once the cake has cooled, spread the chocolate truffle ganache evenly over the top. Then, pipe or spread the whipped cream over the ganache.
9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
