Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 200 gm Sweetened Milk condensed
- 100 gm Butter softened, unsalted
- 1 tsp Vinegar white
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Milk
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 ½ cup Chocolate Chips dark
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan. This ensures the cake won't stick and releases easily.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy. This creates air pockets for a tender cake.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Sifting helps combine the dry ingredients evenly and prevents lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.
- Stir in the vinegar, vanilla extract, and milk. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda to create a light and airy texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Oven temperatures can vary, so start checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting. This prevents the frosting from melting and allows the cake to firm up.
- To make the ganache, place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. This allows the chocolate to melt gently and evenly.
- Whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy. The ganache should be thick and pourable.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread evenly. If desired, dust with cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an even moister texture, add 2-3 tablespoons of brewed coffee to the batter. The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee.
- To make this cake vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine and use a vegan sweetened condensed milk alternative. Ensure your cocoa powder is dairy-free as well.
- Let the cake cool completely before pouring on the chocolate glaze to prevent it from soaking in and losing its glossy finish.
- For a festive touch, fold in a handful of chopped toasted nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking, or sprinkle them on top of the glaze while it’s still wet.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will yield a fudgier result.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a tougher cake.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is done.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
