Chocolate Cake
It's Chocolate Cake Day, and of course, we have a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake recipe you NEED to try. Our 72% Dark Chocolate Chips with Panela make this cake rich in Ecuadorian cacao, complimented by the earthy walnuts in each bite. Our 100% Organic Cacao Powder carries the enriched chocolate flavor in this recipe! This cake is extremely moist and creamy, and with a sprinkle of our sweet White Chocolate Chips, the perfect chocolate cake has been created!
Ingredients:
- 7 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cacao powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- white chocolate chips and walnuts (garnish)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 360 F. Butter the pan, and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the flour with cacao powder.
- In a different bowl, mix eggs and granulated sugar. Beat with a mixer until a ribbon forms (Ribbon stage is a necessary step in cake recipes that calls for beating eggs and sugar together until a thick, voluminous batter is created, prior to adding the flour and any other ingredients)
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the flour with cacao powder, little by little, to the mix, while sifting it. For this, use a spatula and mix with encircling movements, making sure that the mixture doesn’t deflate.
- Bake Cake for 40 minutes (360 F) or until a toothpick or paring knife comes out clean. Let the cake cool off.
- In the microwave, melt your chocolate into a bowl/cup. Always check your chocolate every 60 seconds and stir.
- Stir so your chocolate is all melted and smooth. Cover your cake with the melted chocolate and walnuts, and enjoy!!
