Ingredients:

This chocolate ganache cake recipe serves 12 people, and you will need the following ingredients:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of cocoa powder
2 large eggs
1 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 cups of heavy cream
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup of light corn syrup

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sour cream, oil, vanilla extract, and salt together until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the ganache, pour the heavy cream into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips and corn syrup until the chocolate is melted and everything is combined. Let the ganache cool for 10 minutes.

Place the cooled cake on a serving plate and spread the ganache on top. Serve the cake immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips for Success:

This chocolate ganache cake is best served at room temperature. If you plan to make the cake ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To ensure a moist cake, make sure to cover the top of the cake with plastic wrap.

When making the ganache, don't let it boil. Boiling the cream can cause it to separate, resulting in an unevenly textured ganache. Make sure to stir the cream constantly while it's on the stove, and remove it from the heat as soon as it starts to bubble.

Finally, make sure to let the ganache cool for 10 minutes before pouring it onto the cake. If you pour it on too soon, it will be too thin and won't have the desired texture.

With the right ingredients and a little bit of patience, you can easily make this delicious chocolate ganache cake. It's perfect for any special occasion or just to satisfy your sweet tooth!
