A rich, decadent chocolate cake with fudge filling and dark chocolate ganache glaze, perfect for serious chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot coffee (or hot water)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (fudge filling)
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (fudge filling)
  • 2 tbsp butter (fudge filling)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (ganache)
  • 6 oz dark chocolate, chopped (ganache)
  • Chocolate curls or piping (topping)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix dry ingredients, then add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Stir in hot coffee last. Pour into two 9-inch pans and bake for 30–35 minutes.
  2. For the fudge filling, heat cream and pour over chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth. Chill slightly to thicken.
  3. Once cake layers are cooled, spread fudge filling between them.
  4. Make ganache by heating cream and pouring over dark chocolate. Let it cool slightly, then pour over the cake.
  5. Decorate with chocolate curls, piping, or mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Hot coffee enhances chocolate flavor but can be replaced with hot water.
  • Chill fudge filling for easier spreading.
  • Let ganache cool slightly before pouring for a smooth finish.
