A rich and indulgent chocolate cake that combines the fudgy goodness of brownies with a luscious chocolate ganache topping, perfect for any chocolate lover’s celebration.
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Cake:
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
For the Ganache Topping:
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Make the Brownie Batter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Pour half of the ganache over the first layer, allowing it to drip down the sides. Top with the second layer and pour the remaining ganache over the top, spreading it evenly.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve this decadent chocolate fudge layered cake at your next gathering and watch it disappear!
