Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter.
- Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar (both white and brown) and eggs together until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, beating continuously until well combined.
- Sift the self-raising flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the light sour cream until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top of one of the cakes.
- Place the second cake on top.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream all over the top and sides of the cake.
- Chop the almonds finely and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the cake for an added crunch and decorative touch.
- Allow the cake to set in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy your Chocolate & Caramel Celebration Cake!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to ensure a rich, intense flavor.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, especially the eggs and butter.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent a dense cake texture; mix until just combined.
- Line your cake pan with parchment paper to make removal easier and prevent sticking.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving to let the flavors meld and set.
