Devil's Food Cake with Chocolate Ganache

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
Sugar - 7.1 oz
Cocoa Powder - 1.1 oz
Salt - ¼ teaspoon
Water - 8 fl oz
Activated Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon
Vegetable Oil - 2 fl oz
Vinegar essence - 1 tablespoon
Vanilla salt - to taste
Instant coffee - 1 teaspoon
Heavy cream - 5 fl oz
Bittersweet Chocolate - 3.5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, making sure to sift them. Whisk together. In a separate bowl, combine the water, coffee, oil, and vinegar. Add to the dry ingredients. Mix quickly. Add vanilla.

Step 2

Pour the batter into a 16–18 cm diameter cake pan. Grease the pan with butter or vegetable oil beforehand. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Tap the pan lightly on the table to spread the batter evenly. Bake at 347°F for about 40–45 minutes. Be sure to check; a toothpick should come out clean, but do not overbake.

Step 3

For the ganache, bring the cream to a boil, remove from heat, and add the chocolate pieces. Preferably good quality! Let it sit for 5 seconds, then stir.

Step 4

Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Place in the refrigerator until completely cooled. Optionally, you can add rum or cognac to the ganache.
