Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
180 grams of Salted Butter (3/4th cup) [add a teaspoon of salt if using unsalted butter)
100 grams (1/2 cup) Dark Chocolate
60 ml (1/4 cup) Milk
180 grams Sugar (powdered)
2 Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
180 grams (1and 1/2 cup) of Flour
2 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
2x 6" baking tins lined with Oil
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes or till an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Once baked, oven the oven door a little, allow the cake to rest in that heat for 15 minutes, then cool upon cooling racks at room temperature.
For the Dark Chocolate Ganache frosting:
300 grams of Dark Chocolate
150 ml of Cream
Heat in a microwave oven checking and stirring every 20 seconds to prevent burning the chocolate (can alternatively be heated over a double boiler).
Allow this to rest for 5-6 hours or overnight at room temperature. (I usually prepare this the previous day or in the morning if I plan on using the frosting in the later part of the day.)
After this interval, it will have thickened. Whip it up for a few minutes till lighter and increased in volume.
Use one quarter to mix along with the compote. Use the remainder for crumb-coating and frosting the top and sides.
For the Strawberry Compote - Ganache filling:
2 tablespoons of Sugar
4 tablespoons of Water
10-12 Strawberries (chopped)
Mix the compote with a quarter of the whipped up ganache.
8-10 Strawberries, chopped for fresh, juicy bites within the cake.
Some more strawberries for the top.

What should we do if after microwaving dark chocolate and cream the mixture releases oil or similar to that?
Made this today, came out really well. Thank you
Like it but I think the layer was very thick, will it not be very cakey

Thank you dear!:)
hi :) is the chocolate you used at 0:26 compound chocolate?
The step by step method was good it gives an easy to make cake feeling 😊
Florency, thanks for this lovely recipe. What brand of cream do you use in this recipe and what is the fat content. Is it fresh cream or whipping cream? God bless... Stay safe!!
Hi, I like to make chocolate ganache just like this and I use Amul whipping cream! fresh cream will yield thin ganache which might not whip very thick. good luck
Is it necessary to use baking soda?
What I can use instead of eggs
This is the best cake I ever made
I am first to like it.regards PINTOS CUISINE
