Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake Batter

  • 200g dark chocolate
  • 150g butter
  • 100g sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 200g flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 100ml milk

Topping

  • 100g white chocolate (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking tray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar, mixing well to combine.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk into the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking tray and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Cut: Allow the cake to cool completely in the tray, then cut into squares.
  9. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled cake squares for a beautiful finishing touch.
  10. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent chocolate layered cake!

Notes

  • Use good-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled before adding to eggs to avoid curdling.
  • A toothpick or skewer test helps determine doneness.
  • White chocolate drizzle can be customized with colored sprinkles or nuts for decoration.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
