Decadent Double Chocolate Coca Cola Cake with Caramel Pecan and Ganache Layers

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Ganache

1. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
2. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1–2 minutes.
3. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Add butter for extra shine and richness. Let cool slightly to thicken.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate or cake board.
2. Spread half of the caramel pecan mixture evenly over the cake.
3. Drizzle a portion of ganache over the caramel layer.
4. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with the remaining caramel and ganache, leaving a little ganache for topping.
5. Pour the remaining ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides naturally.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle additional chopped pecans or chocolate shavings on top for a professional touch.
• Let the cake sit for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache and caramel slightly before slicing.
• Serve with a glass of milk, coffee, or enjoy on its own—it’s rich enough to satisfy any chocolate lover.

🌟 Tips for the Perfect Cake

• Cola Magic: Coca Cola adds moisture and a subtle caramel flavor to the chocolate cake—don’t skip it!
• Caramel Safety: Be careful when handling hot caramel; it reaches very high temperatures.
• Ganache Consistency: Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring to avoid it running too thin.
• Make Ahead: This cake can be assembled a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Bring it to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
