Ingredients
This delicious vanilla cake with chocolate ganache is the perfect treat for any special occasion. To make this delicious cake you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter, melted and cooled
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix until just blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before assembling.
To make the chocolate ganache, place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the heavy cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken slightly before using to assemble the cake.
To assemble the cake, place one of the cooled cake layers on a cake plate or stand. Spread about 1/3 of the ganache over the top of the cake layer. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining ganache over the top and sides of the cake. Serve at room temperature.
