How to cook deliciously - Chocolate Birthday Cake

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 9” cake pans with parchment and grease with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. Stage

In a large glass measuring cup, whisk hot coffee and sugars together. Add oil and sour cream and whisk to combine. Pour into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.

3. Stage

Divide batter between prepared pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack and let cool completely.

4. Stage

Make ganache: Place chocolate chips into a heat safe bowl. In a small pot over medium heat, heat heavy cream until bubbles form around the edges. Pour cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature and thickened, about 20 minutes.

5. Stage

Using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat ganache until lightened in color and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Place one layer of cake on a platter and frost top with about half of the frosting, then place second layer on top and frost with remaining frosting. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
