Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone or cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup thick caramel sauce
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
  • Chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
  2. Whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Stir in hot coffee (batter will be thin).
  4. Divide into pans and bake 28–32 minutes. Cool completely.
  5. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl beat mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
  6. Stack cake layers with generous cream filling and drizzle caramel between layers. Chill 30 minutes.
  7. Heat 1/2 cup cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until glossy. Pour over chilled cake, letting it drip dramatically down the sides.
  8. Finish with extra caramel drizzle and chocolate shavings.

Notes

  • Chill cake before adding ganache for perfect drips
  • Use homemade caramel for deeper flavor
  • For extra indulgence, add a thin caramel layer under the ganache
