Ingredients
For the Ganache
For the Cake
- 1/2 cup Simple Syrup equal parts sugar and water, heated until sugar dissolves; or use granulated sugar directly
- 200 gm Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 100 gm Chocolate dark
- 15 gm Cocoa Powder unsweetened, such as hershey's
- 50 gm Sunflower Oil or unsalted butter
- 100 gm Caster Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Prepare the Ganache
- Combine dark chocolate, milk, and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (double boiler). Stir occasionally until the chocolate is almost melted. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk gently until smooth and combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 6-inch, 500g cake tin.
- Sift together whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, melt dark chocolate, oil (or butter), and caster sugar in a double boiler until the sugar is mostly dissolved (it won't fully melt). Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in warm milk and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cake
- Pour batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble and Decorate
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully slice it horizontally into 2-3 layers.
- Brush each layer with simple syrup. Spread a generous layer of ganache between each layer and on top and sides of the cake.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set.
- Drizzle extra ganache over the top for decoration, or pipe decorative swirls. Garnish with chocolate gems or other desired toppings. Chill for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Dutch Truffle Cake:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest ganache flavor.
- Don't overmix the cake batter; overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the ganache from melting.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of strong brewed coffee to the cake batter.
