Description
A decadent chocolate ganache cake made with rich ingredients and a smooth chocolate ganache topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Mix in the flour and milk alternately until just combined; fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then pour it over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, drizzle the ganache over one layer, letting it drip down the sides.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for best results.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the ganache.
