minutesIngredients
- Cake Sponge
Eggs – 3
Powdered Sugar – 1 Cup
Cooking Oil – 1 Cup
Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
All Purpose Flour – 1.5 Cups
Cocoa Powder – 3 tbsp
Baking Powder – 1 tbsp
- Ganache
Cream – 2 Cups
Dark Chocolate – 2 Cups
- Cake Frosting
Milk -1 Cup
Whipping Cream – As required
Directions
- Begin by cracking open 3 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk or electric mixer to beat the eggs until they become fluffy and pale in color.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the beaten eggs, beating continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sugar starts to dissolve. Then, add another 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated.
- Pour 1 cup of cooking oil into the egg and sugar mixture, and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence to enhance the flavor. Through a strainer, add 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the egg mixture. Also, add the prepared buttermilk. Gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Line a cake mold with cooking oil and butter paper. Pour the batter into the mold, tapping gently to ensure even distribution. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the cake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a pan, heat 2 cups of cream and 2 cups of dark chocolate over medium flame until melted and well combined.
- Allow the ganache to cool down, then cover it with cling wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. After chilling, beat the ganache for 1-2 minutes or until it lightens in color.
- Once the cake is baked and cooled, slice it into three layers horizontally. Place one cake slice on a turning table and moisten it with some milk. Spread whipped ganache on top, then repeat this process with the remaining layers.
- Spread whipped cream on top and on all sides of the cake. Microwave the leftover ganache to melt it, then pour it over the cake. Get creative with decorations, adding swirls of cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries. Now, your indulgent Simple Chocolate Cake is ready to be enjoyed!
