Como fazer Decadent Chocolate Lemon Ganache Cake

  1. Heat 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until hot.
  2. Add 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and cook for 5 minutes, or until melted, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and chill for at least 5 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, melt 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate and 1 teaspoon lemon zest in a small saucepan.
  5. Let the melted unsweetened chocolate cool completely.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Set aside the dry ingredients.
  8. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  9. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  10. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  11. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  12. Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup plain yogurt to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  13. Stir in the cooled melted unsweetened chocolate mixture just until blended.
  14. Divide the batter evenly among three lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
  15. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  17. Once the ganache is chilled, beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  18. Frost the cooled cake layers with the whipped ganache.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the ganache to set.
