Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use butter to grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan well. Dust with a little flour or cocoa powder and tap out the excess.
- Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until combined.
- Add eggs, warm water, buttermilk, sour cream, oil, and vanilla. Use a hand mixer to beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan on the countertop a few times to allow any air bubbles to escape.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes and then turn out onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
- Place roughly chopped chocolate into a mixing bowl. Pour heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once cream comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat immediately and pour over chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes, until chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir until smooth. Once smooth, stir in corn syrup. Drizzle over the top of the cooled cake.

PERFECT CHOCOLATE GANACHE + HOW TO GLAZE A CAKE!
This is chocolate ganache is really easy and you only need two ingredients! Pour it over cakes or let it cool and frost your cupcakes with it! The first time I made ganache I screwed it up because I stirred it too soon. I also measured the chocolate chips all wrong because (don't laugh) I thought; 8oz = 1 cup, nope; it's actually a weight measurement. Chocolate chips usually come in 12 oz bags, so use 2/3 of the bag (which is roughly 1 1/3 cup measured). This tutorial will save you from my past pitfalls and before you know it, you'll be pouring ganache over everything you can get your hands on! Note: If you want more ganache, use the full 12 oz bag and 12 oz (1 1/2 cups) of whipping cream.

Steps:
- Bring heavy cream to a simmer on the stove top, stirring occasionally. Just as soon as you see a simmer, remove from heat and poor over chocolate chips, swirling the bowl to make sure all chips are covered.
- Place lid on chocolate chips to trap the heat and let sit undisturbed (no mixing) for 5 minutes. Remove lid and swirl the chocolate chips with a whisk starting in the center and working outward until smooth. It will turn into velvety ganache right before your eyes and you'll get excited.
- Once it's velvety, let it sit uncovered at room temperature (70˚F) for about 15 minutes before pouring it over your cake. It was perfect for glazing the entire surface of a cake roll after 15 minutes (it should coat a spoon nicely when ready for cake coverage - set your timer!).
- Place cake on a wire rack over a rimmed platter or rimmed baking sheet. Pour your ganache evenly over the top of your cake until desired coverage is reached. You can lift up the wire rack and re-use the chocolate ganache that drips onto the platter.

- Stir in vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
- Gradually beat in just enough milk to make frosting smooth and spreadable. If frosting becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar.

SUPER MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH GANACHE FILLING AND GLAZE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare 3 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and flour. Cream together butter and sugar, then beat in eggs, one at a time. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together water, cold drip coffee, cocoa, and esspresso powder until smooth. Then whisk in sour cream, cream, and vanilla. Add flour mixture and cocoa mixture to sugar mixture in alternating batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix together until well blended. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans, gently tapping to remove air bubbles and smooth tops. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool in pans for 30 minutes, then remove cakes onto cooling racks to cool completely. While cakes are cooling, you can begin to prepare your ganache. In a saucepan, bring cream to a simmer, then remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until smooth. You may leave at room temperature until desired consitency is met or refrigerate to thicken more quickly. *Keep in mind that to acheive the glossy appearance of the ganache, it must have set without refrigeration. Refrigerated ganache may be heated again to achieve the desired consistency and appearance. Cake freezes well if well covered. I have made this cake, filled and glazed it with ganache, then frozen it. Upon thawing, I cover it with a light layer of fresh ganache and it was beautiful and couldn't have looked or tasted fresher. I have also decorated with shaved chocolate on top for an even more lavish appearance!
Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before baking; this will help the cake rise properly.
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
- For a smooth ganache, make sure the chocolate and cream are finely chopped and heated slowly.
- To make the glaze, use a high-quality dark chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
Conclusion:
This super moist chocolate cake with ganache filling and glaze is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is rich, decadent, and sure to please everyone who tries it. With its moist chocolate cake, creamy ganache filling, and rich chocolate glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
