Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 120 g flour; 100 g sugar; 50 g brown sugar; 120 g lukewarm coffee; 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder; 5 g baking powder; 1 pinch salt; 55 g vegetable oil; 90 g cream; 1 large egg; 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla; 130 g dark chocolate, chopped; 15 g butter; 115 g heavy cream; 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Directions

1. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and line a 20 cm round cake tin. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, and lukewarm coffee until well combined. Add the cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before adding the ganache.

2. Step

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, butter, and brown sugar. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Let the ganache set before serving.
