Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the milk, brewed coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
To make the ganache frosting, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped bittersweet chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth.
Mix in the butter and espresso powder until fully incorporated. Allow the ganache to cool to a spreadable consistency, stirring occasionally.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of ganache over the top. Place the second layer on top and spread ganache over the top and sides of the cake.
Smooth the ganache with an offset spatula for a polished look, or create swoops and swirls for texture.
Let the cake set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
