Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Ganache Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
Instructions
Baking the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Mix in the flour and milk alternately until just combined; fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Making the Ganache
- Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then pour it over the chopped chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, drizzle the ganache over one layer, letting it drip down the sides.
Notes
For the best flavor, use high-quality chocolate for the ganache.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure to cool the cakes completely before applying the ganache to avoid melting.
