1 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.

3️⃣ In another bowl, whisk together eggs, brewed coffee, Baileys Irish Cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4️⃣ Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and no lumps remain.

5️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6️⃣ Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7️⃣ Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Baileys Chocolate Ganache:

1️⃣ Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

2️⃣ In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

3️⃣ Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate, add Baileys Irish Cream, and let sit for 1-2 minutes.

4️⃣ Stir mixture gently until chocolate is melted and ganache is smooth. Let cool to room temperature.

Assembly:

1️⃣ Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the Baileys Chocolate Ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

2️⃣ Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder.

3️⃣ Optionally, serve slices of cake with whipped cream or Baileys-infused whipped cream.
