Cake Batter:
Prepare the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a round or square cake pan with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage.
Blend the Batter
Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
Optional Homemade Ganache:
Heat the Cream
- In a small saucepan, warm ½ cup of 10% cream over low heat until it just begins to simmer (don’t let it boil).
Melt the Chocolate
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 ⅓ cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate melts completely and the ganache is smooth. For a thicker consistency, add more chocolate chips as needed.
Decorate the Cake
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides for an elegant finish. Let the ganache set slightly before slicing and serving.
