- Melt the chocolate in a saucepan over a medium flame and set it aside to cool to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 350°F and keep your baking pans ready!
- Take a small bowl and mix flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda in it. Take another large bowl and whisk brown sugar, espresso, butter, eggs and vanilla extract for about 3 minutes. Sunehra Mineral Brown Sugar by Trust will give the perfect caramelized colour to your cake. The natural molasses makes the cake soft and moist while adding the goodness of calcium, iron and other nutrients.
- Gradually add molten chocolate and continue whisking for another minute. Add the flour mixture to the batter and mix well by adding buttermilk at the end. Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool it in the pan for an additional 10 minutes before inverting it onto wire racks for complete cooling.
- For the chocolate ganache, keep the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Bring the cream to a low boil but be very careful not to spill it. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. Whisk the ganache until smooth enough to be used for icing or pouring over the cake.
The combination of bittersweet chocolate and brewed espresso is a chocolate lover's dream come true! The caramelized texture due to Sunehra Mineral Brown Sugar by Trust will complement the rich chocolaty taste and make you crave for more.
