Instructions
Make the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease an 8” round cake pan. Cut a circle of wax paper to fit bottom of the pan. Insert the wax paper and grease it as well.
- Place 1 cup of the chocolate chips and the butter in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds, until the butter is melted. Stir until the chocolate chips melt and combine with the butter.
- Stir in the sugar, salt, coffee, and vanilla.
- Switch to a whisk and whisk in the eggs until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder and whisk just until combined.
- Spoon the batter into the pan. Bake for 25 minutes. The top will form a thin crust.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a sharp, thin knife. Invert onto a serving plate (note: the edges may crackle a bit). Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
Make the ganache:
- Combine the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat until the cream is hot but not bubbling.
- Stir until the chocolate chips melt and the mixture is very smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, spreading just to the edges.
- Allow the ganache to set for several hours (refrigerated or not) until ready to serve.
Notes
- Notes on the coffee - I use one .07 ounce packet of instant coffee crystals in this recipe. One packet is a teaspoon of instant coffee.
- When microwaving the ganache, cook in no more than 20 to 30 second intervals to prevent burning.
- Keeps well at room temperature for up to three days.
