Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit), conventional oven. Melt the butter in a pot or microwave, let it cool a bit. Whisk sugar and eggs until airy. Stir in flour, vanilla sugar, cocoa, and chocolate. Add the melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into a greased springform pan of approximately 22 cm. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven – it should be a little soft in the center. Let cool.
Ganache
- Whisk butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and cocoa well together into a smooth cream. Heat cream and chocolate in a small pot until the chocolate is melted. Fold the butter/chocolate mixture into the cream. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes, then spread the ganache on the cooled cake. Sprinkle with some grated chocolate – serve.
