So beginning with the recipe, lets get started!
We'll make chocolate cake step by step
spread some oil on the baking pan
place parchment or butter paper
a little bit of cocoa powder to dust
spread evenly
remove the excess
meanwhile i've preheated the oven at 180° celsius
for about 15 minutes
add all purpose flour to a bowl(i've sifted it already)
cocoa powder
instant coffee powder(optional)
baking powder
baking soda
salt, and mix well
add milk to a separate jar
oil
eggs, break them separately to avoid shells
vanilla extract
and mix well
now mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients
scrape the sides with a spatula
pour hot water simultaneously
it'll make the cake super moist
make sure its hot, but not boiling hot
I just realised I forgot to add sugar with the dry ingredients
But I know you won't forget, so excuse me while I add sugar at the wrong stage
add the rest of the hot water
till its really smooth and lump-less
now pour the smooth, liquid-y, silky batter
equally into both our pans
to divide them equally, I have used cups
I've poured 3 cups of batter into each pan
in that preheated oven at 180° celsius, we'll bake our cake for 35 minutes
and after 35 minutes check with a toothpick
and we'll let it cool down for 15-20 minutes so they come out easy
unmold the cake now
and remove the parchment paper
for the frosting i'm making an easy chocolate nutella ganache
I'm taking semi sweet chocolate chips
pour hot cream
mix till the chocolate is smooth
now pour the nutella
and mix
let this silky ganache refrigerate for 15-20 minutes
since the cake is ready, and so is the ganache
time to assemble
beat the ganache with a beater
till it lightens
and develops and almost chocolate mousse consistency
cut the cake from the top and make it smooth and even
place the cake on a plate, my daughter has already placed butter paper on it
so guys since its the holidays, involve your kids in the baking process!
spread our ganache frosting on the cake
spread evenly
now place the second layer
and cover with frosting
cover the sides as well
now remove the butter paper from the sides
voila, now the moist chocolate cake is ready
refrigerate for 1-2 hours
so the ganache sets easily, and the cake is tastier!
if you want, you can serve the cake like this, its very tasty!
so the chocolate cake is ready to serve
but you know me, i'm gonna pour
some chocolate mirror glaze frosting
which will make this cake tastier, and a lot more beautiful
to pour to mirror glaze, i've placed the cake on a glass, and the glass is on a round baking dish
or any plate
so that you can reuse the excess that falls
don't worry, just stay tuned for the next recipe to learn how to make this mirror glaze frosting
