Ingredients

12 servings

For the cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp fine salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
½ cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup hot brewed coffee or hot water

For the ganache

1 cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and dust lightly with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
