My Double Chocolate Cake
To make a rich double chocolate cake, you need to have good quality baking chocolates.Prepare 450 g of Baking Chocolates , I used Hershey's Semi Sweet Baking Chocolates for this.
Prepare another 450g of Butter
300g Whipped Cream
8 Eggs
200g Caster Sugar
1.) Unwrapped the Chocolates ... Duh!
2.) Chopped the chocolates up.
3.) Melt all the ingredients in a pot with butter first followed by chopped chocolates, whipped cream, caster sugar and eggs.
4.) Stir the mixture till smooth.
5.) Then grease a 8 inches baking tin and line it with aluminium foil then pour the melted mixture into it and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 45 minutes.
6.) Top the cake with ganache.
Ingredients:
250g Chocolates
200g Whipped Cream
50g Butter
Melt the butter and whipped cream in a pot and then stir it with chopped chocolates as shown above. Stir the mixture till smooth. Then, slowly and evenly spread the ganache on the baked chocolate cake.
7.) When it's cooled down, chill the cake in the fridge and serve chilled too as it has got a soft texture.
I didn't get to snap a picture of the whole cake as my mom took slices of it to work.
So this is a picture of one slice of it...
Looks rich... and it is RICH... Chocolate Lovers... Give it a try...
It's quite an expensive cake though since it doesn't require flour and most of it comes from the expensive Hershey's baking chocolates. But you can buy less expensive ones to save on it.
I would give it much credit as it's semi sweet and the texture fools your mind as though you're eating a hugh slice of chocolate. Damn it's nice...
Hahaha...
For those who are going on a diet, do not even think about it... it's got all the sinful ingredients that fattens you entirely...
