Directions

  • Step-by-Step Instructions: Crafting Perfection, One Layer at a Time
  • Preparing the Cake Batter:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour miniature cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a food processor, pulse the rolled oats until finely ground, resembling flour.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until a smooth batter forms.
  • Baking the Cakes:
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Making the Chocolate Ganache:
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.
  • Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over them.
  • Allow it to sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly to thicken before using.
  • Assembling the Cakes:
  • Once the cakes have cooled, carefully remove them from the pans.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top.
  • Repeat with the remaining layers, stacking them gently.
  • Pour the remaining ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decadent finish.
  • Garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, or whipped cream, if desired.
