Ingredients:-
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp bicarbonate soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar-used 1/4 cup
1/2 brown sugar- used 1/4 cup
65g butter (anchor)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract  (i used vanilla essence)
1/4 cup buttermilk- I used plain 1/4 cup of low fat milk with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 
1/2 cup warm water

Method:-

Set your oven at 170C
Prepare your cake tins.
Sieve flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate soda, salt, and set aside.
Beat butter with sugars until light and fluffy, add eggs.
When all well incorporated add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder etc) and alternate with liquid ingredients (buttermilk + warm water) in three portions, last incorporate the vanilla extract.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until just cooked

Cream Cheese Frosting
250 gm cream cheese (room temp)
125 gm butter (room temp)
1 cup icing sugar - sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
juice of a squeezed slice of lemon, to rid the cheese taste

Beat cream cheese and butter, just until creamy, add the icing sugar, vanilla and lemon juice.

 

Chocolate Ganache-(make 1/2 the amount next time)
200ml double cream with at least 30% fat content-I used fresh cream
250g dark chocolate, chopped finely
a pinch of salt.

 In a double boiler, warm the cream until just at boiling point, add the chocolate & salt and stir. When all the chocolate has melted, remove for heat and continue stirring until all well mixed.
Let the cake cool completely, spread the cream cheese frosting and pour the ganache on top
