Ingredients

For the cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dark chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk

For the ganache:

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon butter

For the garnish:

Festive decorations of your choice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, oil, and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. To make the ganache, heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Decorate the cake with festive decorations of your choice. Enjoy!
