INGREDIENTS (22cm mold size)

For the cake:

210g dark chocolate

260g (1 1/4 cups) butter

3g (1 tbsp) instant coffee

Vanilla extract

260g (1 1/4 cups) sugar

3 eggs

110ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk

230g (2 cups) all-purpose flour

35g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder

10g (3/4 tbsp) baking powder

For covering:

240ml (1 cup) fresh cream

240g dark chocolate

METHOD

1. Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie (double boiler). Then, add the butter and stir to melt it. Add the instant coffee and vanilla extract and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Pour the chocolate mixture into a mixing bowl, then add the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and mix with an electric mixer.

3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then mix all the ingredients well with a spatula to obtain a smooth, lump-free mixture.

4. Pour the mixture into the cake mold (22cm mold size) lined with parchment paper and transfer to the oven. Bake at 160°C/320°F for 60 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the ganache by heating the fresh cream in a saucepan. When it is almost boiling, add the dark chocolate and whisk to combine until smooth. Let it cool for a while.

6. Cover the top part of the cake with the prepared chocolate ganache. Cut a slice and serve.
