1 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee |
chocolate ganache: |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
