Ingredients

Chocolate Cake

  • 100 gram Butter
  • 210 gram Sugar
  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 90 gram Wheat Flour
  • 4 gram Vanilla Sugar
  • 10 gram Cocoa powder
  • 50 gram Dark chocolate chopped

  • 50 gram Cream Cheese natural
  • 150 gram Powdered Sugar

  • 5 gram Cocoa powder
  • 50 gram Cream

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.
