Easy chocolate cake

This easy chocolate cake recipe is perfect for any chocolate lover looking to quickly whip up a deliciously moist and rich dessert. With simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry, you can create a cake that will impress both your family and friends.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1/3 cup dark chocolate
72g
1/2 cup sugar
100g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup water
250g
3 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
380g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Stir continuously until both are melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream until well mixed.
4. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in the large mixing bowl, alternating with the water. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cake:
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, cut into squares or your desired shape.
- Serve as is, or with your favorite frosting, powdered sugar dusting, or a scoop of ice cream.

Tips:

- Melt the butter and dark chocolate together over low heat to ensure a smooth mixture without burning the chocolate.

- Let the melted butter and chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding it to the eggs to prevent the eggs from curdling.

- Make sure to sift the flour and baking powder together to avoid any lumps and ensure even distribution.

- Use room temperature eggs for better integration into the batter.

- Grease and flour your baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking, ensuring a smooth release.

- For extra moistness, you can substitute some of the water with milk or coffee, which will also enhance the chocolate flavor.

Enjoy your delightful easy chocolate cake, and don't forget to decorate it with your favorite frosting or toppings. This indulgent treat is sure to make any occasion special. Happy baking!
