<\/a><\/p>\nWhen I read this recipe in one of my books I knew it was going to be this one. I think it\u00b4s perfect for any kind of celebration and everybody likes chocolate, right?<\/p>\n
Just because this year in Mother\u00b4s Day I won\u00b4t be able to be with my mum, I\u00b4m sure I will make it again soon for her when I go back home.<\/p>\n It\u00b4s big, but pretty simple to make, so let\u00b4s start!<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n For the cake:<\/span><\/p>\n 400 gr flour<\/p>\n 145 gr of butter (room temperature)<\/p>\n 240 gr of sugar<\/p>\n 1 pinch of vanilla<\/p>\n 1\/2 sachet of baking powder<\/p>\n 60 gr of cocoa powder<\/p>\n 35 cl of milk<\/p>\n 11 egg whites<\/p>\n salt<\/p>\n For the filling:<\/span><\/p>\n 15 cl of cream<\/p>\n 300 gr of pure chocolate<\/p>\n The cake:<\/p>\n In a bowl mix the butter, sugar and the vanilla until you get a soft cream.<\/p>\n In another bowl mix the flour, the baking powder and the cocoa powder. Then add that mix bit by bit, alternating with milk, to the other mix (the one with the butter) and make sure that all ingredients are well mixed.<\/p>\n Beat the egg whites (adding a pinch of salt) until they form soft peaks and very slowly incorporate them to the other mixture.<\/p>\n Grease the mold and put it in the oven at 180\u00ba C during more or less 1 hour and 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven let it cool down.<\/p>\n The ganache:<\/p>\n Melt the chocolate together with the cream until you have a smooth creamy mixture. Let it cool down for a while and then put it in the fridge until it\u00b4s completely cold. Then, with a mixer whisk the cream a little bit, the color of the chocolate will be clearer now.<\/p>\n * Tip: don\u00b4t whisk too much, otherwise it will get very hard and will be difficult to spread on the cake (yes, happened to me :))<\/em><\/p>\n Just cut the cake in layers and fill it with the chocolate cream. You can decorate as you like, use your imagination!. This time I used macarons, you can find the recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
