Servings: persons

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1-1/2 cups hot brewed coffee
4 large eggs
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups buttermilk
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy whipping cream
5 teaspoons light corn syrup

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0. Line bottoms of three greased 8-in. square baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
2
Place chocolate in a small bowl. Pour hot coffee over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth. Cool slightly.
3
In a large bowl, beat eggs on high speed until lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, oil, vanilla and chocolate mixture, beating until well blended. In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to chocolate mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
4
Transfer to prepared pans. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
5
For ganache, place chocolate in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; stir with a whisk until smooth.
6
Let stand at room temperature to cool and thicken slightly, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Mixture will be very soft, but will thicken when spread onto cake.)
7
Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup ganache. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining ganache over top and sides of cake.
