Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the dough. Put softened butter in a saucepan, pour in milk, add chocolate chopped into small pieces, add sugar and put on low heat.
Step 2
Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and a homogeneous mass is formed. Pour the chocolate mixture into a large container and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then sift the flour with baking powder on top of the chocolate mass, add the beaten eggs and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Stir until a thin, homogeneous dough forms. Pour into a round, deep silicone baking dish (20.5 cm diameter) and place on a baking sheet. Cover the tin with foil.
Step 4
Bake in an oven preheated to 160 ° C for 50 minutes to 1 hour. The cake is ready when a thick crust forms on the surface. Leave the product to cool in the mold for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 5
Prepare the cream. Heat the cream over low heat and bring to a boil. Remove immediately from heat and pour into a clean container, add chopped chocolate to the cream. Stir the creamy chocolate mass until the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 6
If the chocolate is not completely melted, put it in a water bath for a few minutes and stir. Whisk in the chocolate mixture, sift the icing sugar on top and stir until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Spread the cooled cream over the cake. Pre-chill white and milk chocolate and grind. Decorate the cake with curls and coarse chocolate chips.
