Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and spirit until smooth.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the Boozy Chocolate Ganache by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
-
Remove the cream from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a minute before gently stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in the spirit until fully incorporated. Allow the ganache to cool slightly and thicken.
-
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of Boozy Chocolate Ganache over the top.
-
Carefully place the second layer on top and cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining ganache.
-
For an extra touch, you can decorate the cake with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries.
