Ingredients (for 8 people)
For the cake
- 200g SWEET-SWITCH® Milk Chocolate
- 200g butter
- 4 whole eggs & 2 extra egg yolks
- 60g of flour
- 7g of baking powder
For the ganache
- 100g SWEET-SWITCH® 70% Dark Chocolate
- 1 dl full cream
- 50g butter
- A handful of nuts
Let's get baking!
For the cake
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- Melt the chocolate with the butter in the microwave or au bain-marie. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
- Beat the eggs until pale yellow in colour. Then loosely whisk in the flour and baking powder.
- Mix the two mixtures together and pour into the buttered and floured baking tin.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the oven. The cake should be just cooked in the middle after that time. If not, let it bake for a few more minutes.
- Remove the cake from the oven. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes before pouring it out of the mould.
For the ganache
- Bring the cream to the boil in a saucepan. Add the butter to the cream and let the butter melt in the warm cream.
- Break the chocolate into pieces and put them in a mixing bowl. Pour the boiling cream with melted butter onto the chocolate pieces. Mix with the whisk until the chocolate is melted.
- The result is a 'ganache'. When the cake has cooled sufficiently, pour it over the cake. Decorate the cake with nuts. You can also decorate the cake with Confetti to make it more cheerful!
Enjoy your chocolate ganache cake!
