Ingredients: 

Cake: 

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pans (I used vegan butter) 

2 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the pans

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon fine salt

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

5 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup milk (I used almond milk) 

Chocolate Ganache:

8 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

• Steps:

1-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; dust with flour, and tap out the excess.

2-Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

3-Beat the butter, sugar, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.

4-Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

5-Bake the cakes on the same oven rack until golden on top and the centers spring back to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes. Rotate the pans about halfway through if they seem to be browning unevenly. Let cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks and let cool completely.

6-Chocolate Ganache: Cook the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Enjoy it!
