Have you ever had a sudden craving for chocolate cake?
But when talking casually Bakers like us will start asking questions. What's the word for chocolate cake? What do you mean by cake hahaha because actually there are a lot of chocolate cakes. Whether it's sponge, chiffon, butter, pound, anything with chocolate. (or cocoa powder) into it, you can also call it chocolate cake.
But when those of us making a dessert come up with an idea, we always have an answer (or an image) in our head.
Like today when I think I want to eat chocolate cake. An image appears. I want to eat a buttery chocolate cake with a rich, runny chocolate flavor, but I don't want the heavy texture of a brownie. Served with ganache on top. The ganache you want is butter ganache. Because I want something rich like butter cream too.
It's dark enough to imagine coming out like this. That makes it easier for us to make recipes, hehe.
When trying to do the first round, the results are not bad. But it still feels less juicy. Because ganache like this is enough to eat with cakes that are not juicy. It just won't fit.
So I reduced the flour and added liquid. It comes out as a chocolate ganache cake. full of chocolate I don't know if it's on the texture of the cake or on the face ^^
I used about 57% cocoa, if you are using a higher percentage of chocolate you may need to add more liquid. Because a high percentage of cocoa will make the cake look drier.
