- 85 grams 100% cocoa powder
- 200 grams all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 small eggs
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1)First step, dry ingredients
To start making this delicious chocolate cake you wanna start by add all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar, cocoa powder, all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Once all the dry ingredients are in the mixing bowl mix them together using a spoon or whisk.
2)Second step, wet ingredients
3)Third step, mix
start boiling your water in a small pot so we have it ready for the next step!
Use a whisk to throughly combine the wet ingredients. We want all the ingredients to be evenly incorporated.
Now its time to combine them together, carefully pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix as much as you can, its still gonna look dry because we need to add the boiling water.
4)Forth step, boiling water
5)Fifth step, chocolate chunks
6)Sixth step, bake
It’s time to bake the chocolate cake. Bake at 160 C (320 F) for about 60 minutes, this is an estimated baking time and may vary depending on your ovens temperature accuracy. Do not open the oven a lot or its gonnna happen to you the same thing it happened to us and youre gonna end up with a whole on the middle of your cake. So..after 60 minutes you wanna insert a toothpick into the center of the cake.
if the toothpick its wet with cake batter, leave it for about 5 more minutes.
if the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs its ready remove from oven and allow it too cool for about 20 minutes. After this time has passed you can remove it from the pan.
7)Seventh step, chocolate ganache
While the cake is baking you should start by making your ganache specially if it’s summer and its hot. It needs to set a little so its not so liquid.
start by chopping the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl, in a separate pot boil the heavy cram and once it reaches to a boil pour it into the chocolate.
8)Eight step, mix chocolate ganache
Stir until smooth, be careful. The hot heavy cream is gonna melt the chocolate. First its gonna look like chocolate milk but then if you keep mixing its gonna have a nice chocolate color. Cover the ganache with plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for about 10 to 20 minutes to have a more dense consistency.
9)Ninth step, decorate and eat
you can decorate now, it was too hot in my house so the chocolate melted, and we couldn’t do much with it but it was delicious. We added some raspberries and fresh fruits so it would be more refreshing. Enjoy:)
