The Ultimate Chocolate Cake
Jonneke started her successful blog Mooncake out of a love for food from other cultures. On it, she introduces readers to the most delicious food from the Middle East, Asia and everywhere else she comes across something tasty. Her first cookbook is packed with delicious sweet bakes from all over the world, such as this Tom Sawyer cake.
“This cake is filthy delicious and reminds me of something. Maybe I was friends with Tom Sawyer in a previous life; I can’t quite place it. When I was at Nuria’s ice cream parlour to taste it, she asked if I wanted to take a piece home. When I finally arrived home and looked in the bag, I saw that she had given me an entire cake. A mini version, but still. A whole cake.”
Method
Batter
1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Grease the springform pans.
2. Put the flour in a bowl and mix with the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Break in the eggs and add them. Add the milk, water and vanilla extract and mix until smooth with the mixer. Finally, add the oil and mix until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
3. Divide the batter between the greased springform pans and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, until done.
Cream
1. Cut the butter into cubes and place in the food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
2. Place the first cake layer on a plate or cake stand and spread with a generous amount of cream. Place the second layer on top and spread again with a generous amount of cream. Place the third layer on top. Make it a naked cake by neatly finishing only the edges, or cover the entire cake with the remaining cream. Serve with a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of Gran Marnier.
* Nuria bakes the layers of her cake separately. Another option is to bake the cake whole, let it cool to room temperature and cut it horizontally into three equal parts.
