One thing you will notice about this cake is that it gets the intense chocolate flavor from real chocolate and cocoa. The combination of those two is a chocolate lovers dream come true!
Coffee does magical things to chocolate, and this cake is no exception to that! I add in 8 full ounces of espresso to this cake batter and it creates the most beautifully intense chocolate cake experience.

For the ganache, I simply used 6-ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 6-ounces of heated heavy cream. Pour the hot heavy cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
You can make as much ganache (or as little) as you need, it is simply a 1:1 ratio of chocolate to heavy cream.
And feel free to use as much or as little ganache over the cake! I used about 6-ounces, but you can use as much as 12-ounces on your cake. You can also add coffee extract to enhance the ganache flavor.
Be sure to give Chocolate Espresso Cake a change… I am confident you will love it!
