Dark Chocolate Cake
1 hr 10 mins
Ingredients
  • subheading: Cake:
  • 1 ounce semisweet chocolate finely chopped
  • ½ cup hot brewed coffee
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon unbleached all purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • subheading: Ganache:
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • subheading: Things You’ll Need:
  • 8 inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer
  • Wire cooling racks
  • subheading: Before You Begin:
  • Using low-quality chocolate or heavy whipping cream can affect the stability of the ganache. It’s best to use high-quality ingredients for the best results. I would not recommend using chocolate chips, opt for baking chocolate bars such as Ghirardelli or Guittard.
  • Use the scoop and sweep method to measure your flour. To do so, aerate your flour with a spoon then scoop it into a measuring cup until it’s overflowing (do not pack the flour into the cup, you want it to be fluffy and loose). Use the back end of a butter knife to level it off.
