Ingredients

Making a delicious chocolate ganache cake doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming. With this easy recipe you can have a rich and decadent cake that is sure to please. Here are the ingredients you'll need:

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter
2 cups of granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of heavy cream

Instructions

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and get out two 9-inch cake pans. Grease and flour them and set them aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add this to the creamed mixture alternately with the boiling water. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes and then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

To make the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the ganache to cool for 15 minutes before frosting the cake.

To assemble the cake, place one layer on a cake plate. Spread the ganache over the top, and then place the second layer on top. Frost the cake with the remaining ganache. Serve the cake at room temperature.
