Chocolate coffee cake with dark chocolate ganache from Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented (page 151) by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Amazing cake, looked beautiful and tasted even better. Instructions were very good. I struggled with getting the buttercream nice and smooth - it was sort of broken, but close. A fair bit of work, but lovely results.

    A real showstopper. Even though it has 3 components - moist chocolate cake, silky coffee buttercream (love the texture of this cooked frosting) and intensely chocolatey glaze - each one comes together easily and can be made in advance. I made 1/2 the ganache, enough for one application, which I felt was enough.

    This year for the first time I actually managed to pull off a really good cake on David's Birthday.

    This is absolutely one of the most satisfying cakes - both for eating and for gazing at fondly - I’ve ever made.
