How to Make Incredible Yes Incredible Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among 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 wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, prepare the buttercream frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and milk.
- Prepare the ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Once cakes are completely cool, frost the first layer with a generous amount of buttercream. Spread raspberry preserves evenly over the buttercream. Top with the second cake layer and repeat.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the ganache to set.
