- 1 cup of plain flour
- 3/4 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of melted butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
- 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
Instructions
To make this delicious cake, begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cakes are finished baking, allow them to cool completely before transferring them to a wire rack. Meanwhile, make the chocolate ganache. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat, and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Allow the ganache to cool before spreading it over the cooled cakes.
To make the truffle filling, beat together the powdered sugar, almond extract, cocoa powder and heavy cream until smooth. Spread the truffle filling over the cooled cakes. To assemble the cake, stack the two layers of cake on top of each other, then top with the two layers of ganache and truffle. Top with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of melted chocolate and enjoy!
