Choc cake

Indulge in the heavenly delight of a Choc Cake, a rich and decadent dessert that combines three types of chocolate to create a moist and flavorful treat. Perfect for chocolate lovers and sure to impress at any gathering, this cake is surprisingly easy to make with just a few simple steps.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g
1 cup sugar
200g
3 eggs
150g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/2 cup milk chocolate
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of dark chocolate.
- Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until both the chocolate and butter are fully melted and combined. (Alternatively, you can melt them over a double boiler).
3. Add Milk and Sugar:
- Stir in 1/4 cup of milk and 1 cup of sugar until fully combined.
4. Incorporate Eggs:
- Add the 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
5. Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1/3 cup of dry cocoa powder.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Mix in Milk Chocolate:
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chunks.
7. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- Once completely cooled, serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor; the quality of the chocolate significantly impacts the final taste of your cake.

- Instead of dark chocolate, you can also use semi-sweet chocolate if you prefer a slightly sweeter taste.

- Melt the butter and dark chocolate together gently over a double boiler or in short intervals in the microwave to prevent burning.

- Sift the self-raising flour and cocoa powder together to avoid lumps and to ensure an even distribution throughout the batter.

- Do not overmix the batter. Once you combine the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated to keep the cake tender.

- Check for doneness by inserting a skewer or toothpick into the center of the cake. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This Choc Cake is the ultimate treat for chocolate enthusiasts. Its rich, moist texture and layers of chocolate flavors make it an irresistible indulgence. Easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, this cake will undoubtedly become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
