How to Make Moist Triple Layer Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and lightly dust three 8-inch cake pans with cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Add buttermilk, coffee, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth.
Evenly divide the batter between the three prepared cake pans and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake layers to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them onto a cooling rack and cool to room temperature.

Ganache

Place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
Heat the cream, being careful not to let it boil over. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it stand for a few minutes.
Mix until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow to cool completely until it is a spreadable consistency.

Assemble

Once the cake layers and ganache have cooled, it is time to assemble the cake!
Place one cake layer on a cake stand and spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Use an offset spatula to even out the ganache.
Add the second cake layer and spread an even layer of ganache on top.
Finally, top with the remaining cake layer and spread a final layer of ganache over the top.

Serving Suggestions

Serve slices of Moist Triple Layer Chocolate Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat. Pair it with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate chocolate indulgence.

Storage Info

Any leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Techniques or Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark chocolate for the ganache.
Make sure the ganache is completely cooled and thickened before assembling the cake to prevent it from sliding off the layers.
To achieve perfectly even cake layers, use a kitchen scale to measure the batter for each cake pan.

Variation

For a twist on this classic recipe, try adding a layer of raspberry jam between the cake layers for a delicious chocolate-raspberry flavor combination. You can also decorate the top of the cake with chocolate curls, sprinkles, or fresh berries for an elegant finishing touch.

FAQs about Moist Triple Layer Chocolate Cake

Q: Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk? A: While buttermilk adds richness and tanginess to the cake, you can substitute it with an equal amount of regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

Q: Can I make the cake layers in advance and freeze them? A: Yes, you can wrap the cooled cake layers tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze them for up to 1 month. Thaw the cake layers in the refrigerator overnight before assembling the cake.
