Steps:
- Bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle boil and pour it over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Set it aside for one minute.
- Whisk the two ingredients until it's all combined. Next, add the softened butter and whisk until your ganache becomes homogenous.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and set it aside for a couple of hours before assembling. A rested ganache gives the best texture for spreading!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottoms of two 9" round baking pans with parchment paper and grease the sides with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking cocoa, baking powder, and baking soda. Set it aside.
- In a separate, large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar. Gradually add oil and whisk until it's all combined. Add the milk, coffee, and vanilla extract, gently whisking with every addition
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk until it's all combined. The batter will be light and fairly runny; that's totally normal.
- Transfer batters to the prepared pans. Bake in the middle rack for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a cooling rack. Finally, allow an additional 40-45 minutes of cooling; the cakes should be at room temperature before assembling.
- Slice a bit off the top of each cake to remove the domes and even the cakes out.
- Place a large dollop of the ganache into the center of the first cake and spread it out using an offset spatula.
- Carefully place the second cake over the top, crumb-side down.
- Spread the remaining ganache over the top and the sides.
- Top your cake off with fresh berries or your favorite cake topping! Enjoy!
