Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 200g semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, milk, butter or oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow cakes to cool completely before assembling.
  8. Heat heavy cream until warm, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit, then stir until smooth to make ganache.
  9. Stack cake layers with frosting in between.
  10. Pour ganache over the top, gently guiding it to drip down the sides.
  11. Let the ganache set slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Let ganache cool slightly before pouring for controlled drips.
  • Add coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Use white chocolate for a different drip variation.
  • Brush cake layers with simple syrup to keep them moist.
  • Decorate with fruits, sprinkles, or extra chocolate as desired.
