Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 3 Egg large
- 1/2 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chopped, dark
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon Coffee instant granules, such as nescafe
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil for extra moisture, optional
Ganache Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chopped, dark
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the melted dark chocolate and vegetable oil (if using).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 30-35 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.
Make the Ganache
- While the cake cools, prepare the ganache. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Frost the Cake
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
Serve and Enjoy
- Slice and serve your delicious Double Chocolate Mud Cake. Enjoy!
