Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two round cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting lightly with flour.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar.
- Cream softened butter and sugar in a separate bowl until fluffy (about three minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool before removing from pans. Once cooled, layer with half of the ganache between layers and cover the top and sides with the remaining ganache. Top with chocolate curls if desired.
