  • 1 cup granulated sugar 220g
  • ½ cup brown sugar 100g
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • cup vegetable oil 133g
  • 1 cup sour cream 240g
  • 2 tsp instant coffee
  • ½ cup boiling water 120g
  • ½ cup cocoa powder Dutch processed preferred (50g)

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 300 g dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter diced (56g)
  • 1 ¾ cup heavy cream 420g

Assembly:

  • 1-2 packs of raspberries

Instructions
 

Chocolate Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
  • Add eggs, vegetable oil, and sour cream. Mix gently until smooth. Do not over-mix.
  • In a separate bowl, mix boiling water, coffee, and cocoa powder.
  • Add the cocoa mixture to the batter. Mix gently until smooth. Do not over-mix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Chocolate Ganache:

  • Heat heavy cream and butter in a saucepan until it boils.
  • Pour over the chocolate, cover, and wait 5 minutes. Stir gently until smooth and shiny.
  • Cover and refrigerate until it thickens and is spreadable. This takes a few hours.

Assembly:

  • Once the cakes are baked, cool them in the pans for 15 minutes. Then turn them out and cool completely. You can chill them in the freezer.
  • When the cakes are chilled and the ganache is spreadable, trim the tops of the cakes.
  • Spread a thick layer of ganache between the cake layers.
  • Cover the cake with a thin layer of ganache to catch the crumbs (crumb coat). Refrigerate until set.
  • Frost the cake with the remaining ganache, making the edges neat.
  • Cover the top with fresh raspberries.
  • Serve and enjoy!
