Delicious chocolate cake

Looking for a delectable dessert that doesn't require extensive time and effort? The Chocolate Cake is your perfect go-to recipe. This rich, moist cake packs a chocolatey punch while being simple enough to whip up even on the laziest of days!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup sour cream
230g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup dry cocoa powder
72g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
4. Incorporate Sour Cream:
Blend in 1 cup of sour cream until the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of baking soda.
6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
7. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
10. Frost the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread the ganache evenly if necessary.
11. Serve:
Allow the ganache to set for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your lazy day chocolate cake with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Tips:

- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.

- Sift the cocoa powder and flour together to avoid lumps in your batter.

- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best results.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before icing or serving to prevent the frosting from melting.

- For an extra touch, garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.

And there you have it! With minimal effort and maximum flavor, the Chocolate Cake is an ideal dessert for any occasion. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet night in, this cake is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with its rich and luscious taste.
