MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE | CHOCOLATE GANACHE
​
Super Moist Chocolate Cake – about a year ago, I made an eggless version for some reason. I totally forgotten about making the egg version until someone requested. This cake is easy, super moist and soft with amazing chocolate ganache. Hope you’re inspired. Enjoy!

Instructions:
Moist Chocolate Cake
-
Preheat oven at 180°C/355°F.
-
Sift all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, add sugar, oil, eggs. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined.
-
Add in the sifted dry ingredients in 2 batches, mix until the dry ingredients disappear. Do not over mix.
-
Add in the milk and mix until combined.
-
In a small pot, add water and coffee. Bring to a boil. Then add into the batter. Mix until combined.
-
Pour the batter into 2 prepared 7-inch pans. Divide the batter evenly into the 2 pans. Weighing scale is recommended.
-
Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for 30 min.
-
Cool on the cooling rack.
-
Trim to make the layers flat and even.
Chocolate Ganache
-
Cut the chocolate into small chunks.
-
In a small pot, add the heavy cream. Bring it to a boil. Then pour over the chocolate. Let it rest for 1 min.
-
Mix it well to prevent lumps. If you still find lumps, microwave for 30 seconds. The consistency will be liquid at this point. Refrigerate for 30 min.
-
After 30 min, use an electric mixer to mix it. The chocolate color will turn to lighter color.
Assemble and pipe the deco you desire with the chocolate ganache.
