Steps:
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into two 8-inch round prepared pans and bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 350°F, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out mostly clean (not wet).
- Cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE - JUST A PINCH RECIPES
What an insanely good chocolate cake recipe. People will absolutely think you got this from a bakery. The cake is moist and tender, but sturdy enough to hold the frosting and ganache layers. This chocolate frosting is rich and smooth. Where this cake gets special is the chocolate ganache filling. It's rich and chocolaty with a slight orange flavor. The rich Lindt truffles are the perfect topping and make the layer cake extra fancy. This cake will make a special occasion extra special. If you're a beginning baker, we'd suggest having someone help you in the kitchen. There are a lot of steps, but the outcome is the perfect cake for a chocolate lover.

Steps:
- FOR CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 3 9-inch layer cake pans (I use Wilton, they are the best). Cut out circles of wax paper and line bottom of pans. If you have Wilton Bake-Even Cake Strips, use them. If not, you will have to level cakes after they are cooled.
- Combine boiling water and cocoa. Stir until smooth. Set aside in the fridge to cool.
- Cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla at high speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 5 min is perfect).
- In a separate bowl combine flour, soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add flour.
- Then cocoa mixture beginning and ending with flour.
- Do not overbeat or cake will be tough!
- Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 or until top springs back. Do not overbake!
- Cool in pans 10 minutes.
- Then flip out onto a large plate and put in the freezer. Don't worry, I know what I am doing. This keeps the cakes from falling apart and won't leave crumbs in your icing.
- GANACHE FILLING: Place the chocolate into a medium bowl.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. Watch very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot.
- When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chocolate chips.
- Whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the Grand Marnier and the orange zest.
- Transfer hot chocolate to a relatively deep stainless steel bowl and immerse it into a bowl of ice water. Then whip with a hand mixer until it is thick and fluffy.
- Once it is desired consistency, take out of ice bath or it will continue to harden; set aside.
- SATINY CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine chips, milk, and butter in a LARGE saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat; blend in powdered sugar.
- Set the pan (or transfer to a mixing bowl) into an ice bath; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer.
- Stop occassionally to scrape down the sides. Mix until frosting is fluffy and holds its shape.
- It should make a peak with a spoon and hold it. Remove from ice bath or it will continue to harden!
- CAKE ASSEMBLY: Remove frozen layers from the freezer and put on a platter lined with wax paper strips to catch the mess. Place the first cake and spoon about half of the ganache.
- Place the next cake on top of the ganache layer.
- Spoon the rest of the ganache on top.
- Place the last cake on top. Frost the top with the satiny chocolate frosting first. Then start on the sides. Smooth top as much as possible with a flat knife dipped in hot water.
- Take your chocolate jimmies (chocolate sprinkles). Gently take your hand and press them into the sides only. Continue until you have gone all he way around. Gently remove the wax paper strips and discard. Put remaining filling into a piping bag and pipe 12 medium size swirls on top of the cake. I used a #21 tip. Space them out before you start piping to make sure you get 12 and they are even. Top each swirl with a Lindt chocolate truffle and a white chocolate truffle, alternating. If the bottom of your cake is messy where you pulled out the paper, you may use the same tip to pipe a border around the base of the cake.
- Chill in the refrigerator immediately. Before serving, let the cake set out at room temperature 30 minutes so the chocolate will soften back up slightly. Enjoy!
- ALTERNATE GARNISH: Pipe a border around top and bottom lip of cake. Take Pirouette creme filled wafers and line them up around the sides of cake. (They do not have to be all the same height). Add M&M's to the middle of the cake . ***Finished Cake #2 in my photo #2 made in (3) 9-inch pans. Serves at least 14, huge cake.
