Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Saucepan
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

For the cake:

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water

For the ganache:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Slowly pour in the hot water and stir until the batter becomes glossy and well incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it simmers. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides for a stunning finish.
