A Brief History of Chocolate Cake
Chocolate cake has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. Originally, chocolate was a rare and expensive ingredient, and it was used in beverages and confections rather than cakes. It wasn’t until the mid-19th century, with advancements in chocolate processing, that chocolate cake as we know it became a possibility. Today, chocolate cake is a beloved dessert worldwide, with countless variations. Our recipe is a modern twist, focusing on moisture and flavor, topped with a classic chocolate ganache for that perfect finish.

Heat Cream:
In a small saucepan, heat 200 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Do not boil.
Melt Chocolate:
Place 200 grams of finely chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
Gently stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add Butter:
Stir in 2 tbsp of unsalted butter until fully incorporated and the ganache is glossy.
Cool and Use:
Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.

Allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving the cake.
