Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 0.75 cups cocoa powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 stick Nescafe instant coffee (2g)
  • 1 cup very hot water

Equipment

  • Two 9-inch round cake pans
  • Mixing bowls (large and medium)
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sifter or fine mesh strainer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Dissolve the Nescafe stick in hot water and add to the batter, mixing until smooth.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers, then pour over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes before stirring in butter until glossy.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the first layer with ganache, add the second layer, and cover the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
  10. Let the ganache set for at least an hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and milk. If you have remaining batter, you can bake it in batches if only one pan is available. Customize your cake with toppings like fresh berries or chocolate shards for an impressive presentation. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. Let refrigerated cake sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
