Chocolate cake for One Two Three

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chocolate cake for One Two Three? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance; it should be soft. Take the highest grade flour. Milk - any fat content. Wash the eggs and dry with napkins.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a separate bowl, combine wheat flour, cocoa, sugar and salt. You may need more or less flour than I did, so set some of the flour aside and then add it in parts, keeping an eye on the consistency of the dough.

3. STEP 3

   

   Gently mix the dry mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add raw eggs, soft butter, olive oil, milk and wine vinegar to the flour mixture.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything with a mixer until a glossy homogeneous mass is formed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the dough into a greased baking pan. The consistency should be like very thick sour cream. I had a cooking ring without a bottom, but the dough did not leak out during baking. Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 175°C for about 45-55 minutes (use your oven as a guide!). After 20-25 minutes from the start of baking (necessarily after the cake stops growing!), start checking its readiness with a wooden skewer every 5 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   It is important not to overcook the crust in the oven, otherwise it may become dry or burnt. As soon as the skewer is dry, the cake is ready. It took me another 20 minutes (in total, the cake was baked for 50 minutes, but it may take you more or less time, it all depends on the features of the oven). Turn the finished cake upside down onto a wire rack, remove the parchment and cool.

8. STEP 8

   

   You can wrap the crust in cling film and leave it to cool at room temperature overnight. This way it will retain moisture not only inside, but also outside.

9. STEP 9

   

   Prepare ingredients for ganache. Take cream with at least 30% fat content.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour the cream into a separate ladle. Add a cinnamon stick to them and bring to a boil on the stove.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the chocolate in a bowl. Pour boiling cream over it and, stirring, melt completely.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cool the ganache to room temperature and add soft butter. Stir until smooth.

13. STEP 13

    

    Drizzle the ganache over the cooled chocolate cake, let it set, and then decorate the cake as desired. I have fresh fruits: kumquats, grapes, and mint leaves.

This is not the first time I have made this cake. My whole family really likes it. In this recipe I changed the very minimum of ingredients. Instead of olive oil, I added unflavored sunflower oil and did not use cinnamon in the glaze. I baked the cake for exactly an hour. The cake turned out so fluffy and the taste of soda is not noticeable at all! The cake tastes very chocolate, is moist inside, and does not need any soaking at all. Delicious, soft and big) I definitely recommend this recipe!
