Bake:
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
Heat Cream:
In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.
Melt Chocolate:
Place 200 grams of finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add Butter:
Stir in 2 tbsp of unsalted butter until fully incorporated and the ganache is glossy.
Cool and Use:
Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
Use the ganache to frost the cooled chocolate cake layers. You can also use it as a filling between the layers.
Allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving the cake.
Enjoy your super moist chocolate cake with perfect chocolate ganache!
