Ingredients
- 200 grams Butter
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 150 grams Caster sugar
- 150 grams Light brown sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Self-raising flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 100 milliliters Milk
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (for ganache)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Melt the butter and dark chocolate (200 grams) together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Once melted and smooth, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
Step 4
Slowly mix the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Step 5
Sift the self-raising flour and cocoa powder into the wet mixture, folding gently until no streaks remain.
Step 6
Gradually add the milk, mixing until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few sticky crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low-medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate (150 grams). Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
Step 11
Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, using a spatula to spread it evenly over the top and sides.
Step 12
Let the ganache set for 15-20 minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy your Sticky Chocolate Cake!
