Preheat oven to 350º F.

Spray two round 9x2 cake pans with cooking spray and line with parchment. I buy the precut round parchment liners. Then spray the parchment too.

In a large bowl mix the buttermilk thru salt with a whisk.

Add flour and cocoa powder and whisk until combined.

Pour evenly into two prepared pans.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overcook.

Mix all filling ingredients in a stand mixer (or hand mixer) until smooth. There might be some cream cheese lumpiness so keep mixing.

When cakes are completely cool you can assemble.

Spread filling over one layer of cake and top with a second layer.

Make the ganache by bringing whipped cream to a low boil of medium-high heat.

Remove from heat and add chocolate. Let it stand for five minutes then stir until smooth.

Let it cool for about ten minutes and stir again.

Pour over cake letting it drip down the sides. Put in refrigerator until set.
