3-4 cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Ganache
1/2 cup 2 tbs heavy cream 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
Cake
Preheat oven to 300°. Grease three 9 inch cake pans and line the bottom with a round piece of parchment paper.
Sift dry ingredients 3x. Beat butter and sugar well then add eggs. Beat for 6 minutes. Beat 1/3 of the dry mix in. Add buttermilk. Add 1/3 more of dry mix. Add vanilla and mocha cold brew. Add the remainder of dry mix.
Once batter is smooth, pour evenly into the three pans. Bake for 30-34 mins or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool on rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove cakes from pans and allow to cool completely.
Remove parchment paper from bottom and level off cakes with sharp knife if needed. Individually cover each cake with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and shortening until fluffy. Dissolve coffee granules in milk and add to bowl. Add cocoa powder. Begin to add the powder sugar 1 cup at a time, first mixing by hand and then with an electric mixer until smooth and sufficiently thick.
Ganache
Make after cake has been frosted.
Place chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl. In a small pan over low heat, bring the heavy cream to a boil and then remove from heat. Pour cream over chocolate chips and whisk until smooth.
ASSEMBLY
Remove cake layers from fridge. Frost each top of cake and stack. Apply thin layer of frosting around the cake edges of the cake with a spatula. Place cake in fridge for 20 minutes. Prepare ganache.
Remove cake from fridge and add remaining frosting to the sides and top of cake until smooth and uniform.
Use a spoon to drizzle ganache down the sides allowing it to drip. Fill in the top of the cake with remaining ganache and spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Allow ganache to set for 10 minutes.
Garnish with chocolate shavings, piped frosting, or coffee beans.
