Extra Dark Chocolate Graveyard Cake

Chef notes

This graveyard cake is almost too spooky to eat! Almost. Black cocoa powder gives this chocolate oat flour cake its deep, dark color, while Dutch-process cocoa and a little coffee bring out its rich chocolate flavor. A layer of silky chocolate ganache becomes the perfect canvas for crushed chocolate cookie dirt, cookie tombstones and little meringue ghosts. It's a fun Halloween project for kids and grown-ups alike. And the best part? Underneath that spooky graveyard is a deliciously moist chocolate cake!
