Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix until combined.

Step 3: Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Prepare the Ganache

In a small saucepan, heat the butter and heavy cream over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips until melted and combined. Allow the ganache to cool slightly.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

Place one layer of the cake on a cake stand or plate. Pour the ganache over the cake and spread it out evenly. Place the other layer of cake on top and spread the remaining ganache on top of the cake. Allow the ganache to set before serving. Enjoy!
