Bake with me: best chocolate birthday cake - easy recipe - 18th birthday party - Irish daily vlog
Hello and welcome back to my weekly vlogs from the country side of Ireland!
In this week’s video I’m celebrating my daughter’s 18th Birthday and I’m baking the best and easiest chocolate cake! Think chocolate heaven!
Join us in the celebrations of this important milestone in our family.
So, grab your favourite hot drink, and your latest WIP and enjoy.
Hope you enjoy!
Here’s the recipe I use in the video:
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 45g dark chocolate, grated;
- 180g pitted dates, finely chopped;
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed;
- 3 large eggs, beaten;
- 100g olive oil;
- 150g milk;
- 180g all purpose flour;
- 2 tsp baking powder;
- 1 tsp baking soda.
For the chocolate ganache:
- 200g dark chocolate, broken in small pieces;
- 100g butter, softened at room temperature;
- 150g icing sugar;
- 4 Tbsp milk.
Instructions
Firstly, you will make the cake.
You can make this cake in your food processor if you have one, or you can just make it by hand.
Preheat the oven to 170C and line 2 round cake tins (20cm) with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, eggs, olive oil, milk, and mix well.
Slowly add the grated chocolate and the dates. Mix well.
Now add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, making sure to incorporate them well into the wet mixture.
Divide the mix equally between the 2 lined tins and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
When the cakes are ready, let them cool down completely before assembling them together.
In the mean time, make the chocolate ganache by slowly melting the chocolate and butter together, over low heat or double boiler.
Once they are melted, add the sugar and the milk, and keep stirring until they are well mixed.
Your ganache is now ready, and it’s time to assemble the birthday cake!
Start by placing one half of the cake on a large serving plate. Spread some of the ganache on the top of the cake, making sure to cover it all.
Gently place the second half of the cake on top, and use the rest of the ganache to cover the entire cake, top and sides.
You can sprinkle the top with sugar strands or powdered icing sugar, but this is optional.
And don’t forget to lick the spoon!
Enjoy.
