I have put together this video for you detailing the ingredients and process you need to bake this cake. I have also finished it off with a milk chocolate ganache, dark chocolate and fresh fruit.
    The ingredients you will need for the chocolate cake are:
    200g - Unsalted butter
    200g - Plain chocolate (70% cocoa)
    300g - Light soft Brown sugar
    200g - Plain flour
    190ml - Soured Cream
    3 Eggs
    1 tsp - Vanilla Extract (flavouring)
    1 tsp - Baking Powder
    1tsp - Bicarbonate of Soda
    + Plus a filling and decoration of your choice. If you would like to see a video tutorial on how I make my milk chocolate ganache in this video please take a look: • How to make amazing Ch...

  • @queencleo1151
    @queencleo1151 4 роки тому

    I like how you combine your melted butter with the chocolate together... very convenient way of adding the two ingredients. The batter consistency looks perfect, however I believe 180 degrees is very high for such small cakes and 45 minutes is far too long; that's why your sponges appear to be very dry...

      Hi Madia, For the cake I used dark chocolate. In the UK dark and plain chocolate are the same thing, they just sometimes call them by the different names. The dark / plain chocolate that I used has 70% cocoa, so as long as it has that it will be fine to use. I hope this is ok.

      Hi, Did you use a fan oven setting when baking the cake? This tends to bake the outside of a cake a lot faster than the inside, resulting in the outside being crusty and the middle not baking as fast. I always use a normal oven setting for all my cakes.

      Hi Amna, Yes that should be fine, but buttermilk does have a higher water content to Soured cream so you may need to test it to get the correct amount as soured cream tends to be a little thicker.

  • @johnblackhead2384
