Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. In another bowl, beat 2 eggs, then add 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until just combined.
- Step 2: Fold in 1/2 cup cocoa powder until fully incorporated. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Pour half into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 25 minutes.
- Step 3: While the first layer cools, melt 8 oz chocolate ganache and spread it in a 6-inch round cake pan. Chill until set.
- Step 4: Pour the second batter into the 9-inch pan and bake for another 25 minutes. Let cool completely, then invert the layers and top with whipped cream.
Frequently asked questions
How long does Ring2 Ring Cake take to make?
Total time is about 120 minutes (60 min prep + 60 min cook). Most home bakers find this fits a weekend afternoon; chill or store as the recipe directs before serving.
How do I store leftover Ring2 Ring Cake?
Cool fully before storing. Most baked desserts keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cream- or custard-based desserts must go in the fridge within 2 hours; reheat gently or serve cold per the recipe.
Can I substitute ingredients in Ring2 Ring Cake?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Ring2 Ring Cake for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 8 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 8). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
What goes well with Ring2 Ring Cake?
Dessert desserts like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.

Almost perfect — just needed a squeeze of lemon at the end.
