Description

A rich, moist chocolate cake topped with a sinful chocolate ganache. A big crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

  • 1-⅓ cup Plain Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 7 ounces, weight Good Quality, Dark Chocolate
  • 8 ounces, weight Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Caster Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Full Cream Milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 160C and grease and line a 24cm cake pan. (I use a springform pan.)

Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda together in a bowl and set aside.

Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl and allow to cool slightly.

Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Switch to medium speed and add vanilla and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Pour in cooled chocolate and beat until combined.

Beat in a third of the sifted ingredients, a third of the milk and repeat until all ingredients are combined.

Beat until smooth but be careful not to overbeat!

Pour mix into a 24cm cake pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring onto a cake rake to cool completely.

When cool, top with chocolate ganache.
