Ingredients
- For the Ganache:
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 5 Tablespoons unsweetened Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
- 5 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup cold water plus 1 teaspoon instant Coffee granules (diluted in the water)
- Half a cup Chocolate Chips
- 4 oz Dark eating Chocolate (65-70%), broken into pieces
- 4 oz Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Honey, Corn, Agave or Maple syrup (or a combo)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease the baking pan (I used a small Bundt pan) you are using with butter and then sprinkle with a little flour. Shake off the excess flour. Set aside. You can replace the butter with non-stick spray instead if the dairy in the butter would be an issue.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add in the choco chips and stir it in. Using a spoon, make three wells in the flour mixture. In one put vanilla; in another the vinegar, and in the third the oil. Pour the cold water with coffee over the mixture and stir until moistened. Pour into 8 x 8-inch pan/baking dish or in a small Bundt pan (I used the latter). Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it springs back when touched lightly.
If using a Bundt pan, let it cool in a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes and then invert and cool completely. Make sure that the cake is fully cooled before you drizzle/pour the ganache on top. If not using a Bundt pan, you can let the cake cool completely in the baking dish.
For the Dark Chocolate Ganache:
Place the heavy cream, chocolate pieces and the liquid sweetener of your choice in a small saucepan. Melt the chocolate using low heat and by stirring until it becomes very smooth and shiny. Remove from the heat and immediately drizzle/pour it on the cake. Use the entire content of the saucepan if you wish or if there is some left-over you can use it as a chocolate sauce for your ice cream! It can never be wasted.
Allow the ganache to fully set before serving. Enjoy this fantastically delicious Triple Chocolate Wacky Cake with a Dark Chocolate Ganache!!!
