Directions
Cake
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Grease & flour two 230mm baking pans then put them to one side.
Stir flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, & salt together.
Add eggs, buttermilk, melted butter & vanilla extract & beat until smooth.
Stir in hot coffee with a rubber spatula.
Divide batter between the two baking pans & bake for about 35 minutes.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes in baking pans.
Use a butter knife around the edges of each cake, remove them & place them on a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Spread caramel over the top of one cake then place the second cake on top of it.
Topping
Add the chopped pomegranate 70% chocolate to a medium sized bowl & put it aside.
Add the heavy whipping cream to a microwave safe bowl & heat for about 1 minute, keeping a close eye on it.
Pour the warm cream over the chocolate chips & allow it to sit for 3-5 minutes.
Gently stir the cream and chocolate together creating a smooth consistency.
Spread generously over the top of your cooled cake.
Top it off with fresh pomegranates kernels.
Slice it & enjoy!
