Description

For me this is the easiest Chocolate Honey Cake recipe you’ll ever find! One bowl, ten ingredients and no mixer required! Chocolate cake bliss.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 4-½ ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate, Roughly Chopped
  • ½ cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Butter, Unsalted
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Honey, Runny
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ½ cups Cocoa Powder
  • 1-½ cup Flour, All Purpose
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • FOR THE GANACHE:
  • 10-½ ounces, weight Chocolate, Semi-Sweet, Chopped
  • 1 cup Cream

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

In a large microwave-safe bowl combine the chocolate and butter and microwave in 30 second bursts (stirring every time in between) until melted. This should take about 90 – 120 seconds.

Then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until fully combined. Add the honey, milk and sugar and whisk well. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir until just combined.

Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven. The cake will rise quite a bit but it should not overflow. Once the baking time is up it will still feel very soft and it will also lose some height, especially in the center. But don’t worry—it will be completely fine.

Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing the sides and allowing the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Once the cake has cooled, level the top with a sharp knife. You shouldn’t need to slice off too much and small differences in height can be leveled with ganache.

Make the ganache by combining the chocolate and cream in a small saucepan. Gently heat over medium-low heat while stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon. Once the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth, remove from heat. Allow to cool to room temperature before coating the cake. Allow the ganache to settle into the cake before slicing.
