How to Make Chocolate Cake From Cook Yourself Thin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt.
- Add 1 cup warm water and mix on low speed until just combined.
- With the mixer on medium speed, add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate ganache: Place 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped, in a heatproof bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute.
- Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the ganache over the top and spread evenly.
- Let the ganache set for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
