Ingredients

Scale

Cake/Pudding Base:

  • 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Ganache Coating:

  • 200 g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 200 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter (for shine)

Decoration:

  • Chocolate heart pieces (store-bought or homemade with molds)
  • Chocolate cookie crumbs or cake crumbs

Instructions

  1. Make the Cake Base – Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a round or bundt mold. Melt butter and chocolate together over low heat until smooth. In another bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Fold in melted chocolate mixture. Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt. Mix gently. Pour into the mold and bake for 25–30 minutes until just set (a fudgy texture works best). Cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Ganache – Heat cream until steaming (not boiling). Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add butter for gloss. Let it cool slightly until pourable but thick.
  3. Assemble – Place cooled cake on a serving plate. Pour ganache over the top, letting it drip naturally down the sides. Decorate with chocolate heart pieces on top and sprinkle with chocolate crumbs.
  4. Serve – Chill slightly before slicing for neat cuts, or serve warm with ice cream for a molten-style dessert.
