Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
4. Stir in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
8. Place the cooled cake on a serving plate and pour the chocolate ganache over the top.
9. Let the ganache set for about 1 hour before serving.
10. Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
