Hi guys!
One of my favourite hobbies is baking and today I want to share with you a Chocolate Cake Recipe that is to die for and is also really easy! My topping actually turned out to be too runny but, oh well, it was delicious anyway! :)
So, you will need the following ingredients:
For the batter:
- 225 gr. of chocolate
- 175 gr. of butter
- 6 eggs
- 4 tbsp of flour
- 225 gr of sugar
For the filling and topping:
- 225 gr. of chocolate
- 225 ml of double cream
Preparation:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 180ºC and greasing two cake pans and lining them with parchment paper.
2. Melt your butter and chocolate together by placing them in a heat proof bowl in a pot with boiling water.
3. Take your chocolate and butter out of the heat, sift in the flour and mix until there are no lumps.
Then add the sugar and mix.
4. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
Add the egg yolks to the chocolate mixture always mixing to make sure that the egg yolks do not scramble.
5. Beat your egg whites until stiff and fold half of them in to the chocolate mixture. Then, add the remaining egg whites and mix,
6. Divide the batter between the two cake pans as evenly as possible, As you can see one of my cake pans is bigger than the other. Somehow I was under the impression that they were both the same size but obviously they are not (good one Dany!) so I just rolled with it! Bake for 20-35 minutes or until a tothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Now, while our cakes are cooling, we can get started on the topping wich is as simple as it gets! Using the same method we used to melt the butter and chocolate, melt the chocolate and the double cream. When your cakes are completly cool you take one of them out of the pan and cover it with your topping mixture. Then, place the other cake on top, cover it with the topping and work it with a spatula!
I hope you liked this recipe! Don't forget to show us your results if you try it! Share them with us on instagram with #bakingwithdany !
