How to Make Frozen Chocolate Rapture Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  8. Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops with a serrated knife if necessary.
  9. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread half of the ganache over the top. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
  10. Wrap the frosted cake tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or up to a week.
  11. Before serving, let the cake thaw in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Garnish as desired.
