Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup hot coffee
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, hot coffee, vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth.
8. Let the ganache cool slightly before assembling the cake. Place one cake layer on a serving platter, spread a layer of ganache, and repeat with the remaining layers.
9. Frost the top and sides of the cake with chocolate frosting and decorate as desired.
10. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to set the frosting.
