Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 medium sized eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Ganache Recipe:
How to Prepare:
1. Sift first six ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add milk.
3. Add eggs and vegetable oil.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Preheat oven to 350F or 180C.
6. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
7. Pour into baking pans (lined with wax paper). Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
8. Put chopped dark chocolates in a heat proof bowl. Put cream and butter in a small pan. Bring just to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand, without stirring, for a few minutes. Stir gently (as you do not want to incorporate air into the ganache) with a spoon or whisk until smooth.
9. Cover cake with this ganache recipe. I put cream at the top of the cake and swirl it with the ganache using a skewer a few times to create a marble effect.
