Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk
• ¹⁄₄ cup Scotch whisky
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, 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 mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Stir in the Scotch whisky.
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. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth.
8. Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over it. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the ganache is smooth.
9. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let it set for 20-30 minutes before serving.
10. Enjoy your delicious Scotch Chocolate Cake!
