Ingredients

  • Fresh eggs and dairy
  • High-quality butter and cream
  • Fine granulated sugar
  • All-purpose flour
  • A touch of vanilla extract
  • Natural chocolate truffle ganache

Recipe

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 1¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, 1½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 cup boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. For the truffle ganache, heat 1 cup heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over 8 ounces chopped dark chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let cool until thickened but still spreadable.
  7. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of ganache on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with remaining ganache.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Enjoy your decadent Chocolate Truffle Cake!
