Heavenly Chocolate Bliss Cake
Ingredients
- For the Sponge Cake:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup (200g) fine sugar
- 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) dark cocoa powder
- 3 1/2 tablespoons (50ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- For the Cream:
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 2/5 cup (80g) sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 1/4 cups (300g) softened butter
- 2 1/2 cups (320g) powdered milk
- For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 5.3 ounces (150g) milk chocolate
- 1/3 cup (80ml) heavy cream
- 1.8 ounces (50g) white chocolate
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C), and grease a 10x10-inch (25x25 cm) baking pan.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until well combined.
- Reduce the mixer speed and add the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the vegetable oil. Mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the sponge cake from the oven and immediately flip it onto a flat surface from a height of about 16 inches (40 cm). Let it cool, then slice it in half horizontally.
For the Cream:
- Take the butter out of the fridge beforehand.
- In a saucepan, combine the milk and sugars. Heat until the sugars dissolve, then let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy (about 5 minutes). Gradually add the cooled milk mixture and powdered milk, alternating between the two, and continue mixing until smooth.
Assembly:
- Spread the cream over one half of the sponge cake, then place the other half on top.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze by melting the milk chocolate with the heavy cream, and separately melting the white chocolate with the tablespoon of heavy cream.
- Pour the milk chocolate glaze over the cake, then drizzle the white chocolate over the top.
- Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 6 hours before serving.
