Chocolate Cake Recipe:
200 g flour (1.5 cups), sifted
310 g raw sugar (1.5 cups), you can sub with any other sugar. Tip: don’t try to reduce this amount, I tried and it did not work.
50 g cocoa powder (0.5 cup), sifted. I use Dutch processed and I think it’s better, but regular works too
1.5 ts baking soda
1.5 ts baking powder
0.5 ts salt
80 ml vegetable oil (0.33 cup)
1 large egg
1 Tb vanilla
190 ml milk (0.75 cup), you can use any milk making the cake dairy free
190 ml boiling water (0.75 cup) + 1 ts coffee powder mixed in
Icing Recipe:
100 g milk chocolate (I used Lindt), but you can use any
100 ml whipping cream
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Brush an 8” pan with oil and line the bottom of it with a baking paper disc. Then line the sides with cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a whisk.
- Then, using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer) add in the wet ingredients, one by one. The oil, then the egg, vanilla, milk, and last, (slowly) the boiling water + coffee.
- Pour the cake mix into the pan and bake at 180 degrees C for 45-50 minutes (mine took 50) or until a skewer comes out with little crumbs.
- While the cake bakes, heat up the cream and chop the chocolate. When the cream is steamy add the chocolate and let it rest. Wait 5 minutes, then mix until the mixture becomes glossy.
- Let both the sauce and cake cool, pour the sauce on top and let me know how you feel about this
