How to make the Best Chocolate Cake - Шоколадный Tорт

Welcome to my video channel. Today I'm going to be doing an amazing chocolate cake. It's triple chocolate cake with loads of chocolatey layers and it's very very naughty and I love this cake and everyone who tried it absolutely loved it. Now it's not the most low-colorific cake there is but if you have a special occasion I'd recommend you try this recipe. Enjoy! So for the cake we'll be needing half a teaspoon of baking soda and bicarbonate of baking soda, then 125 grams of unsalted butter, 2 eggs, 50 grams of cocoa powder, 225 grams of plain flour, some vanilla extract, 150 grams of caster sugar and 100 grams of brown sugar. And then for the chocolate ganache, we're going to be needing 175 grams of butter, 30 grams of brown sugar, and 300 grams of chocolate. I'm using 200 grams of milk and 100 of dark, and about 125 milliliters of double cream. The longest thing it actually takes is to make chocolate ganache, so we're going to start getting that done now. So I've put my butter and brown sugar in a pan. We're going to melt this, and then we're going to add all our chocolate inside. Just drop all that chocolate in. And we're just going to leave it. We're not going to mix it in. We're going to leave it until it all melts down. Once the chocolate melted and looks really nice like that, we're just going to add all the double cream inside. Just give it a mix and then we're going to leave it aside for about an hour or half an hour until it starts to set. Now we're going to make our cake, so put the butter into our plate. I'm going to add a little bit of vanilla extract, about two tablespoons. And then put all the sugar together, caster sugar with the brown sugar. You can do it by hand or if you have a mixer that might be a bit faster and just mix it on a low speed. Now we just add the eggs and I'd like to add one at a time, just mix that in and then add another one. Okay, so all we do now is just sift everything through. So now that all the dry ingredients are sifted through, we're going to add 125 liters of hot water. It has to be boiling hot. And we just mix that all in, like that. And now we're just gonna add our wet ingredients and mix everything until it's nice and smooth. Mixture's done, it should look like this, nice and chocolatey. Now I've prepared two tins, they're 20 centimeters each, and we're gonna layer the mixture evenly into those. Ok, so my nice chocolate tins are done. Now these babies are going to go into the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees. Ok, my cake is nicely done. I've just let it cool down for a good 10-20 minutes. So now I'm going to layer the cake. So I'm going to place it with this side puffed up a bit, but we can just press down. My chocolate, to make it faster, I've put that in the fridge and you can see it's kind of started to thicken up. You can leave it for longer but I like to leave it like that because I'm still going to put it back in the fridge so it's okay. So we do our first layer of chocolate, just around. Now, I'm going to take my second half and place it this way. And we cover that again with chocolate. Move over, so I'm going to put all this chocolate out. If you have a palette knife, you can use that. I'm just using a spoon at the moment. I will use a knife later on to even it out. Now I've put a bit of double cream and a bit of chocolate into a different bowl. I'm just going to whisk it out. So So to decorate, I'll also put some chocolate chips like that. And then you can see my mixture is all good. So what I'm going to do now... I've prepared a piping bag with a nozzle that creates the cute little shapes of the cake. I'm gonna just pipe that around the cake. Okay, my cake is done. So now I'm gonna decorate. So I've got some ice cream, some wafers. You can serve it the way you like. I'll throw it just to show you how pretty it looks inside. Oh, big moment. Oh god. Oh wow, look at that. See the layers of chocolate and chocolate and more chocolate on top? Okay, I've just decorated my nice chocolate cake, you can see, you can put a bit of ice cream, different decoration, maybe some chocolate sauce, whatever you have in the house, you can just make it look so, so much better. I want to really try this, it smells so chocolatey, oh my god, wow. I'll see you later guys, I'm just gonna go out, do something, but this is amazing cake. I really, really, really hope you try this recipe. It's just too chocolatey and if you love chocolate, there's no better cake than this.
