Suzy Q Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk.
-
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then drizzle with chocolate ganache. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the process. Finish with a final layer of whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate ganache.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
