Ingredients:
For the Cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1¼ cups buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pink food coloring
For the Ganache Drip:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
For the Frosting:
2 cups unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Add pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade of pink.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 5: Make the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. For an extra touch, you can add pink food coloring to match your cake.
Step 6: Prepare the Ganache
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 7: Assemble the Cake
Frost the cooled cakes with the buttercream frosting, stacking them neatly. Pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the edges for a beautiful effect.
Step 8: Decorate and Serve
Finish by decorating the top with swirls of frosting and sprinkling with chocolate flakes. Slice and enjoy your Luxurious Chocolate Drip Cake!
