The February 2023 Bake Club Challenge Recipe is Chocolate Truffle Cake!

A chocolate truffle cake frosted with milk chocolate buttercream, covered in dark chocolate ganache and decorated with homemade chocolate truffles.

After making super easy pancakes last month, we're going to step it up in February. 🙌

This chocolate truffle cake is exactly what it sounds like - a rich, decadent, supremely chocolate cake that's so fudgy and creamy it literally melts in your mouth. Just like a chocolate truffle.

I think it mostly goes without saying that a chocolate cake covered in truffles is the perfect thing for Valentine's Day. But it's also the kind of cake you make on a Saturday afternoon after a busy week when a baking project feels absolutely essential to your health and happiness.

I do want to point out that nothing about this cake is difficult. It just takes a little bit of time.

Mixing up the batter for two layers of dark chocolate fudge cake is basically a 3-step process
Ultra creamy milk chocolate buttercream tastes just like the inside of a chocolate truffle AND requires only 4 ingredients and less than 15 minutes.
And dark chocolate ganache, which is poured over the top of the cake and used to make chocolate truffles, requires nothing more than melting chocolate into cream.
