Chocolate Ganache Cake is a decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This rich and indulgent cake is made with layers of moist chocolate cake and creamy chocolate ganache. The combination of these two elements creates a dessert that is both delicious and visually stunning.
To make this Chocolate Ganache Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

For the ganache:

- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Stir in the boiling water, and mix until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of ganache over the top of the cake, then place the second cake layer on top. Spread another layer of ganache over the top of the cake, and use a spatula to smooth it out and create a decorative pattern.
This Chocolate Ganache Cake is a showstopper dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The rich chocolate cake is perfectly complemented by the creamy ganache, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and satisfying. Serve this cake at your next special occasion, and watch as your guests rave about it for days to come.
