Ingredients
Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water hot
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Chocolate Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperture
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
Chocolate Ganache
- 8 ounce semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 Rocky Road Candy Bars cut in small pieces for garnishing the top of the cake.
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two round 8 or 9" cake pans and set aside.
- Whisk together in a large bowl, flour, sugar, and cocoa. Add oil, eggs and milk. Mix all ingredients well. Add 1 cup of hot water, combining all ingredients. The batter will appear to be too watery. Don't be tempted to adjust. It will cook perfectly.
- Cook for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake completely.
- For Chocolate Frosting
- In a large bowl, whip butter and cocoa together until smooth. Stir in a pinch of salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until frosting reaches desired consistency. Scrape sides and whip again until light, fluffy and smooth, 1-2 minutes.
- For Ganache
- Put cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and let it get to the point where it's almost boiling. Add the chocolate and let sit for about a minute. Turn down heat so it doesn't boil. Stir with a rubber spatula starting from the middle, extending to larger circles until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Let the ganache cool at room temperature.
- Assemble Cake
- Put first layer of cake on a platter or cake stand. Add a thin layer of chocolate frosting to the top, and then add a thin layer of the marshmallow fluff. Add the second cake layer and frost with chocolate frosting. Top with ganache and add rocky road candy bars.
