As we bring the 2018 Christmas celebrations on this channel to a close, we leave you with a perfect dessert to ring in the new year. Our rich chocolate cake is constructed in two tiers. The sponge is moist and delicate, and melts in your mouth. Sandwiched between the sponges and smothered around them is a silky, decadent dark-chocolate ganache. This is a cake for birthdays and special occasions. But let’s be real, you (and we) would eat this any day of the week.

LIST OF INGREDIENTS: at https://bongeats.com/recipe/chocolate-cake/

The tender crumb structure of the sponges comes largely from emulsifying the fat in the other liquids. Also unusual is this recipe’s use of boiling hot water, which apart from reducing gluten (which tends to make cakes chewy) also helps with the emulsion. Here, we’d be remiss if we didn’t credit ChefSteps’ chocolate cake recipe (linked below). Can’t thank them enough for turning us on to the hot-water technique. We’ve made several chocolate cakes in our day, and this was by far the best we’ve had.

Yo bandhus! can you do a video of black forest cake also? we made this recipe and it turned out to be very delicious, however, our sponges sunk at the center – any guess what could be the reason? appreciate if you could provide some possible scenarios when it could happen so we can check it next time. And thanks for posting such detailed recipes.

In the process of making this the cake is not getting cooked in middle it's wet is it recommended to increase temperature at 180 C using a primitive round aluminium oven
