CHOCOLATE GANACHE LAYER CAKE
Made entirely from scratch, this rich, fudgy, gooey, chocolate ganache layer cake is easy enough for the most novice baker to make. I won 2nd place in my first bake-off I ever entered using this recipe!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Place butter and unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted, about 5 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl using an electric mixer.
- Combine buttermilk and eggs in another bowl and add melted chocolate mixture. Beat into flour mixture on low speed for 1 minute; increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring cream to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Immediately remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until it thickens and is smooth. Allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Place one cooled cake layer on a cake plate and spread with a layer of ganache frosting. Lay the second layer on top and use remaining ganache frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake.

Steps:
- Make cake layers:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 3 (7- or 8-inch, 2-inch-deep) round cake pans and line bottoms with rounds of wax or parchment paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess.
- Whisk together water, cocoa, and espresso powder until smooth, then whisk in milk and vanilla.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until fluffy, then add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and cocoa mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing at low speed until just combined.
- Divide batter among pans (about 2 1/3 cups per pan), smoothing tops. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes for 7-inch pans or 20 to 25 minutes for 8-inch. Cool in pans on a rack 30 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove paper, and cool completely.
- Make ganache while cakes bake:
- Bring cream to a simmer in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until smooth. Transfer ganache to a bowl and chill, covered, stirring occasionally, until thickened but spreadable, about 4 hours. (If ganache becomes too thick, let stand at room temperature until slightly softened.)
- Assemble cake:
- Arrange 1 layer on a cake stand or plate and spread 2/3 cup ganache evenly over it. Top with another cake layer and 2/3 cup ganache, spreading evenly, then third cake layer. (Chill ganache if necessary to keep at a spreadable consistency.) Chill cake until ganache filling is firm, about 1 hour. Keep remaining ganache at a spreadable consistency, chilling when necessary.
- Spread a thin layer of ganache over top and sides of cake to seal in crumbs, then chill 30 minutes. Spread remaining ganache evenly over top and sides of cake.
THREE LAYER CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
After making this cake, Chef Jimmy Watters in Arizona ordered them constantly from me. He told me "I flatter his business". The difference is I made it as two sheet cakes stacked. This cake is very rich, moist and so good! I only wish I had decorated this much better, it was a order and they wanted it plain. I will be making...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Grease generously and flour three 8" round pans.
- 2. Stir together sugar, flour, dark cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
- 3. Add eggs, both milks, oil and vanilla. beat on medium speed of your mixer for 2 minutes.
- 4. Carefully stir in boiling water.
- 5. Pour batter evenly into three 8" prepared pans. You don't have to measure, I just eye ball it! LOL
- 6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until wooden tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 to 10 minutes, remove your cakes onto your wire racks.
- 7. While they are cooling, mix in a small dish 1 tablespoon dark cocoa and 2 tablespoon powdered sugar. Dust the tops of each round cake while still warm on your cooling rack.
- 8. Place one section on your desired dish or cake board. I put a little frosting on the bottom to keep it from sliding. Frost the top with a chocolate butter cream frosting. ****Here is where you can get creative with several different fillings. I have also used a raspberry cream cheese frosting. "Yummy"
- 9. On the "bottom" of your next layer coat with a whipped cream frosting.
- 10. Flip on top of the coated butter cream section. Continue with your next layer.
- 11. Take the rest of your whipped cream frosting and "cap" off your cake making it as round as you can. Don't use too much!
- 12. Place your cake in the freezer. Make your chocolate ganache: Heat up in a small saucepan 1 cup heavy whipping cream to almost a boil.
- 13. remove from heat and pour in your corn syrup and chocolate chips. Stir until chips dissolve. Using a wire whisk, whip it until very smooth.
- 14. Take your frozen cake out. If it seems a little off square you can smooth it off by putting a little water on your frosting spatula and gently (not adding water to the cake) smooth it flat. Remove your cake with a LARGE cake spatula onto a wire rack with a cookie sheet below. (This is easy because it's frozen). Start pouring the ganache on top of the cake letting it flow down the sides. Carefully place it back on your serving plate. For the bottom edge I press a little crushed chocolate graham crackers.
- 15. It may seem like a lot of work but it is truly a wonderful cake!
THREE-LAYER CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE
This decadent triple-layer beauty is pure chocolate indulgence. The cake layers can be frozen prior to final assembly; in fact, they're easier to work with when frozen. -Kathleen Smith, Overland, Missouri
