Ingredients

Chocolate Cake
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 183 grams
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 39 grams
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature 113 grams
1 cup sugar 200 grams
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup milk 157 ml
2/3 cup hot brewed coffee 157 ml, or hot water (read notes*)

Chocolate Pudding Frosting
1/2 cup heavy cream 120 ml
113 grams chopped chocolate or good quality chocolate chips
2 1/4 cups powdered sugar 281 grams
3/4 cup cocoa powder 75 grams
339 grams butter room temperature (both salted or unsalted will work)
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Cherry Whipped Cream Filling
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream cold (180 ml)
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped cherries

Ganache Drip
113 grams chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream 78 ml

To assemble
1/4 cup cherry liqueur
8 whole cherries
Edible gold leaf

PS. in the video I make the ganache for the frosting and the ganache for the drip together, which is why it looks like a large amount, but I've divided the recipe because people will most likely make this in stages, and it will help to make the drip ganache separately in order to easily obtain the best consistency for it.

What is the right temperature for the oven??? Is just that it's my first time doing a cake so I want it to be good...

[banhmiii]

I think your whipping cream is overwhipped. However the recipe's so great 👍👍

How would you assemble for 2 8inch cakes? Would you cut the 8 inch cakes in half so you have 4 layers?
