👩‍🍳 Preparation

1️⃣ Make the cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease two 20 cm pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Dust the sides with cocoa.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the hot coffee and mix well.
4. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.

2️⃣ Prepare the peanut butter frosting:
1. Beat the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then the cream and vanilla, beating until fluffy.

3️⃣ Assemble the cake:
1. If necessary, trim the tops of the cakes to level them.
2. Place one layer on a plate or stand, cover with frosting, and place the other layer on top.
3. Cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

4️⃣ Make the ganache:
1. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl.
2. Heat the cream until it's almost boiling and pour it over the chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then mix until smooth.
