THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides.
• Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C).
• Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together.
• Add eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Add vanilla to hot water and add to mixture. Mix well.
• Divide batter evenly between cakes pans and bake for 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
• Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
• Make frosting while cakes cool. Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
• Slowly add 4 cups (460g) of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
• Add vanilla and half of the water or milk and mix until smooth.
• Add another 5 cups (575g) of powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
• Add cocoa and mix until smooth.
• Add remaining water or milk until the frosting is the right consistency.
• Once cakes are cool, remove cake domes from top with a large serrated knife. See my tips on how to level a cake and how to stack a cake.
• Place first layer of cake on cake plate. Spread about 1 cup of frosting on top in an even layer.
• Add second layer of cake and add another cup of frosting on top in an even layer.
• Add final layer of cake on top and frost the outside of the cake. Feel free to use my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake.
• To make the chocolate ganache, add the chocolate chips to a medium sized bowl (see my tips on making chocolate ganache).
• Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
• Drizzle the chocolate ganache around the edge of the cake, then pour the remainder of the ganache on top of the cake and spread evenly. I like to use a squeeze bottle for drizzling around the edges. See my tips on making a chocolate drip cake.
• Allow the ganache to firm up a bit, then pipe the remainder of the frosting around the top edge of the cake and pipe a border around the bottom. I used Ateco tip 844.
• Add a few sprinkles to the cake, if desired, then serve. Cake is best when well covered for 3-4 days.
