TUXEDO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease three round 9-inch cake pans. Set aside.
• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using) together in a large bowl. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or you can use a whisk) mix the oil, eggs, sour cream, buttermilk, and vanilla together until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the hot water or coffee, and whisk or beat it all until the batter is completely combined.
• Divide batter evenly between 3 pans. Bake for 21-25 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
• so it can cool and be ready at the same time. Place chopped white chocolate in a bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil- that's too hot!) Pour over white chocolate and stir until completely combined and chocolate has melted. Cover and refrigerate until it's thick and a spreadable consistency, about 1-2 hours. You don't want it runny.
• In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add 4 cups confectioners' sugar, the cocoa powder, milk/cream, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes until combined and smooth. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. (I add it.)
• Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with 1/2 of the white chocolate ganache. Top with 2nd layer and evenly cover the top with remaining ganache (if there is too much ganache, serve a dollop/spoonful with each slice!). Top with the third cake layer. Spread the frosting into a thick layer all over the top and sides. Garnish with raspberries and mint, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before slicing or else the cake may gently fall apart as you cut.
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

TUXEDO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 8-inch x 2-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment paper, then butter and flour the pans. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed 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 the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Black ganache: Put whipped cream into a stainless steel saucepan and put it on low heat. When its hot, add the chocolate pieces and let it rest for 1 minute, then stir with a whisk until chocolate has melted and becomes shiny and creamy. Allow the ganache to cool in the freezer for approx. 15 minutes. When cool, beat the ganache cream with an electric mixer until it becomes fluffy and pale. White and cream ganache cream ganache for cake dressed: Follow the same procedure as for the black ganache cream! If you want, you can make one single black ganache cream, but keep about a quarter for covering the cake. Assembling the cake: Place the 1st cake layer (the sponge) on a plate, add the black ganache and level it well. If it seems soft,refrigerate the cake for aprox. 30 min. Over the black ganache cream, add the second layer of the white ganache and refrigerate as well, then put the second layer of cake (the sponge)and level the cake well with the remaining ganache.9Aprox. ¼ from the black ganache) Introduces the cake in the refrigerator until the frosting is ready.
