Rich chocolate cake, silky ganache, and fluffy browned butter frosting come together in this elegant dessert. Toasted hazelnuts deepen the nutty flavor throughout the cake, while browned butter adds a warm caramel note that makes the entire cake taste far more complex than the simple ingredient list suggests.
Despite its impressive appearance, this is a straightforward one-bowl cake. The chocolate cake itself is moist and tender thanks to oil and buttermilk, while a touch of hot coffee intensifies the cocoa flavor without making the cake taste like coffee. The result is a dessert that feels equally at home at a dinner party, holiday gathering, or weekend baking project.
Best of all, the flavors develop as the cake rests, making it one of those cakes that tastes even better on the second day.
