Chocolate Cake – This Dessert Will Surprise Everyone!

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 120g sugar (about ⅝ cup)

  • 200g condensed milk (about ⅘ cup)

  • 200ml whipping cream (about ⅘ cup)

  • 50g chocolate (dark or milk, as preferred)

  • 40ml warm cream (about 3 tbsp)

  • Water (as needed for mixing and steaming/baking)


‍ Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar until fluffy and pale.

    • This step helps give your cake structure and sweetness.

  2. Add Condensed Milk

    • Pour in the condensed milk and whisk until smooth.

    • This adds richness and extra sweetness to the cake.

  3. Add Water

    • Add just enough water to loosen the mixture slightly.

    • The batter should be smooth, not too thick.

  4. Bake or Steam the Cake

    • Pour the batter into a greased and lined cake tin.

    • Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 35–40 minutes,
      OR steam on medium heat for about 40 minutes, until set.

    • Test doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

  5. Prepare the Chocolate Cream Topping

    • In a heatproof bowl, add the chopped chocolate.

    • Pour the 40ml warm cream over it and let sit for 1–2 minutes.

    • Stir until melted and smooth (this is your chocolate ganache).

  6. Whip the Cream

    • In a chilled bowl, whip the 200ml whipping cream until soft peaks form.

    • Gently fold in the chocolate ganache until evenly combined.

  7. Assemble

    • Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the chocolate cream mixture evenly over the top.

    • You can also pipe it for decoration.

  8. Chill & Serve

    • Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the cream set.

    • Slice and enjoy a soft, creamy, chocolatey delight! ✨
