Delicious, chocolate and very easy cake with icing that you will love
Ingredients
- 450 g flour
- 700 g powdered sugar
- 170 g of cocoa
- 3 tbsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp baking soda
- 4 large eggs
- 500 ml of milk
- 250 ml sunflower oil
- 3 vanilla powder
- 500 ml hot water
For the chocolate icing
- 400 g dark chocolate
- 400 ml sour cream 35
Execution
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in the air.
- Put butter and flour (slicing) in 2 hoops of 20cm or two pans.
Use a mixer or put all the cake ingredients except water in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or wire until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous. - Add the hot water to the mixture, little by little each time until it liquefies. (Our mixture will now be quite liquid).
- Divide the cake mixture into two hoops and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, try putting a knife in the center of the cake to see if it comes out clean. Be careful not to open the oven during the whole baking process.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely. When they cool, cut them in half and make 4 sponge cakes.
For the icing
- Cut the chocolate into small pieces and put them in a saucepan together with the cream on low heat until the chocolate melts.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk the mixture with the whisk until smooth and fluffy. The mixture should be left to cool for 1 hour to spread, not hot. It should be thick and not fluid when spread.
For assembling the chocolate cake
- Remove the cakes from the hoop. Put one cake on a large plate, spread a little of the icing on top and the next cake on top. Finally, cover the cake with the icing.
- This cake is stored out of the fridge.
For the garnish-decor
We can sprinkle the coconut with grated or dehydrated bananas, or walnuts or strawberries.
