Como fazer Sinful Chocolate Layer Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Grate 1 cup cooked beets and set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup beet juice.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the grated beets and reserved beet juice. Mix for 1 minute.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the ganache: Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped. Stir until smooth and melted.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Strain ganache into a bowl and refrigerate, stirring every 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Once cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread with 1/3 of the ganache.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
- Garnish with chocolate curls.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
