Ingredients

Scale

  • For the Cake:

    • 3/4 cup milk (185 ml)
    • 1 teaspoon vinegar
    • 2 medium eggs
    • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (80 ml)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch of salt
    • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar (150 g)
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
    • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (60 g)
    • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 cup warm coffee

  • For the Chocolate Ganache:

    • 1 cup liquid whip cream or heavy cream
    • 200 g dark chocolate (chopped)
    • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buttermilk Mixture:
    In a bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk mixture.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    To the milk-vinegar mixture, add the eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder until fully combined.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

  5. Add Coffee:
    Stir in the warm coffee. The batter will be slightly runny, but this is expected and helps create a moist cake.

  6. Prepare to Bake:
    Grease your baking pan (9-inch round or square) with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the cake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.

  7. Bake the Cake:
    Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
    While the cake is baking, prepare the ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a bowl. Stir until the chocolate melts and the ganache becomes smooth.

  9. Assemble the Cake:
    Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. After the cake is cool, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, spreading it evenly.

Notes

  • You can use a round or square cake pan for this recipe.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding the ganache to prevent it from melting.
  • For an extra touch, you can sprinkle chocolate shavings or fresh berries on top.
