Rich Chocolate Truffle Cake for Valentine’s
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
-
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking continuously.
-
Sift in the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, then add the vanilla extract. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half horizontally. Spread a layer of whipped cream on the bottom half, then place the top half back on.
-
Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Serve and enjoy!
