aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to sift the ingredients to remove any lumps.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Add the egg, vegetable oil, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to gently mix until just combined.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">In a separate bowl, mix the boiling water with cocoa powder and instant coffee until smooth and shiny.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Add the cocoa mixture to the cake batter and gently fold until fully combined.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>**For the Ganache:**<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-12\">Stir the mixture until smooth and glossy.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-13\">Let the ganache sit for another 5 minutes to thicken slightly.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-14\">Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread it evenly with a spatula.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-15\">Slice, serve, and enjoy your decadent chocolate creation!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>You can easily make your own buttermilk by combining milk with vinegar or lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li>Be careful not to overmix the cake batter, as this can result in a tough texture.<\/li>\n<li>This cake can also be baked in a square pan or doubled for a larger sheet cake.
