Ingredients

Chocolate Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • cup unsweetened baking cocoa powder Do not use Dutch process
  • teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan well with butter, shortening, or baking spray. Dust it lightly with a bit of flour mixed with a bit of baking cocoa.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee together in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract with a spoon. Stir in the melted butter.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the milk mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • Warm the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 2 minutes. Add the semisweet chocolate and let the warm cream melt it for several minutes. Whisk the mixture in one direction until creamy and smooth.
  • Using a large spoon, drizzle the ganache over the fully cooled cake. Serve with any extra chocolate ganache.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. 
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container or wrap in 2 layers of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil.
