Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • For the vanilla cream filling:
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the chocolate ganache topping:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  3. Cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. For the filling, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  7. Spread vanilla cream over one cake layer, then top with the second layer.
  8. To make ganache, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
  9. Pour ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Chill slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add fresh berries between layers for a fruity twist.
  • Substitute ganache with cocoa powder for a lighter finish.
  • Fold mini chocolate chips into the cream for extra texture.
  • Bake cake layers ahead and assemble before serving.
  • Let chilled slices sit at room temperature before serving for best texture.
