  1. Dubai chocolate Cake

    For 17,5 cm (7 inch) pan

    Cake layer:
    90g dark chocolate
    200g milk
    60g sugar
    25g oil
    45g flour
    10g cocoa powder
    1/3 tsp baking powder
    Pinch of salt

    Pistachio kataifi layer:
    60g white chocolate
    60g toasted kataifi pastry
    215g pistachio butter/cream

    Chocolate ganache layer:
    190g milk
    40g sugar
    127g dark chocolate (at least 65% cocoa)

    Method:

    Ganache Layer:

    1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
    2. Heat the milk with sugar in a saucepan until it simmers.
    3. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate, let it sit for 1 minute, then blend with an immersion blender until smooth.
    4. Cover the ganache with cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours. (If it hasn’t set, heat it up over a water bath and add more chocolate).
    5. Once chilled, whip the ganache with a mixer until it lightens in color. Spread it evenly over the pistachio layer.

    Cake:

    1. Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (360Β°F).
    2. Chop the chocolate into small pieces.
    3. Heat the milk until it simmers (you can use a microwave), then pour it over the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
    4. Add sugar and oil, then mix well.
    5. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
    6. Pour the batter into a cake pan and bake for about 20 minutes.

    Pistachio Layer:

    1. Melt the white chocolate (use a microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between to avoid burning the chocolate).
    2. Mix the melted white chocolate with pistachio butter and kataifi.
    3. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled cake.

    Once all layers are complete, chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours for the chocolate to set. But let it come to room temp. before serving.

  9. I earn well, have a stable job and I am a good person as well.
    Is there any possibility I would be able to date you.
    Respectfully,
    Thank you and have a nice day.

  14. Sad, that so many people feel the desperate need to please mommy-in-law. If she doesn't like it, she can eat elsewhere.

  19. "Hmm it's not to sweet …" It's kind Chinese people say to complement a dessert

    Is you mother in law Chinese?

  21. Magnificent ! It's really great that you're also sharing that there have been failed versions. Too often when I fail a recipe (or any other project), I react by telling myself that I'm really no good and that I'd better give up in this area.

  23. Is ur MIL asian? 'Not too sweet' is the ultimate compliment from an asian for a sweet snack πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  24. oh, so that's what it is?
    I kept hearing about it (mostly not in good ways) and didn't care for it so I'm actually learning about it from you first lol

  26. I've looked into how to make the kataifi because I haven't been able to find it locally. But making the pistachio butter or cream wouldn't be a bad idea as well. I've heard that all the ingredients taste great together though.
