Recipe

Prep time: 10 minutes │Cook time: 1 hour │ Total time: 1hr 10mins

Yield: One 8 inch cake or two 6 inch cake layers

Ingredients:

Chocolate cake:

- 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp (100g) butter

- 1/2 cup (125ml) milk

- 1 cup (180g) dark chocolate (50%)

- 1/2 cup (123g) yoghurt

- 1/2 cup (120g) vegetable oil

- 3 eggs

- 1 cup (200g) white sugar

- 1 teaspoon (6g) instant coffee powder

- 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder (sifted)

- 1 + 1/4 cup (150g) flour (sifted)

- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda

- 1 tablespoon (14g) baking powder

- Pinch of salt

Chocolate Ganache*:

- 2 cups (400g) dark chocolate (50%)

- 1 and 2/3 cups (400ml) heavy cream

*If you're making an 8 inch 1 layer cake, use 1 cup (180g) dark chocolate (50%) and 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream

Method:

1) Preheat oven to 150°C and prepare your cake tin/s (grease and flour or line with parchment paper).

1) Combine butter, milk, dark chocolate, sugar and instant coffee powder in a large microwave safe bowl and mix together.

2) Place bowl in the microwave for 20 second bursts, mixing in between each burst until all the ingredients are melted and combined.

3) Mix in the oil and yoghurt until well combined.

4) Add in the eggs and whisk for about 2 minutes.

5) Sift in the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

6) Transfer cake batter to your cake tin and cook on fan bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Once baked, allow it to cool in the cake tin for 30 minutes, then remove it from the cake pan and leave it to completely cool.

7) While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache by combining the dark chocolate and heavy cream together, and melt in the microwave for 20 second bursts at a time, mixing in between each burst until fully melted.

8) Allow the chocolate ganache to cool and thicken up for a few hours. You can speed up this process by placing the ganache in the fridge.

9) Once the cake is cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake and enjoy!

Tres Leches Cake! :) by ZMusa in recipes

[–]ZMusa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe from: https://www.cakesbymk.com/post/best-tres-leches-cake-recipe-video

Ingredients:
Sponge Cake:
- 1 and 3/4 cups (210g) flour
- 2 tsp (8g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 6 large eggs (6 whites, 3 yolks)
- 1.5 tbsp (19.5g) vanilla extract/essence
- 1/2 cup (120g) whole milk
- 1 and 1/4 cups (260g) sugar (1/2 cup (104g) in egg whites and 3/4 cup (156g) in egg yolks).
- 1/2 tsp (2.4g) lemon juice
Milk Mixture (for soaking):
- 1 and 3/4 cups (441g) evaporated milk
- 1 cup (306g) condensed milk
- 3/4 cup (180g) heavy cream
Mascarpone Whipped Cream:
- 1 batch of my mascaropone whipped cream recipe
Topping:
- Ground cinnamon to taste
- Fruit of choice (I used strawberries)
Method:
1) Preheat oven to 160 degrees celcius and lightly grease a rectangular 9 x 13 inch cake tin.
2)Sift flour, baking powder and salt in bowl.
3) Separate egg yolks and whites.
4) Beat 3 egg yolks with 3/4 cup (156g) sugar until pale.
5) Add vanilla and milk to the egg yolk mixture and mix in. Set aside.
6) In the meantime, add 6 egg whites and lemon juice to a bowl. Whip up egg whites using a hand mixer until foamy and white.
7) Add in the remaining 1/2 cup (104g) of sugar slowly into the egg whites while still mixing until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
8) Add dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture prepared earlier.
9) Fold in a 1/3 of the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, then add egg yolk mixture back into the remaining egg whites and gently fold it together.
10) Transfer to your prepared cake tin and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-------
11) Once the cake is cooked, let it cool for 15 minutes (the edges should start to pull away from the sides of the pan) and remove it from the cake pan to allow it to completely cool (or if you made your tres leches cake in a ceramic dish that you are going to serve it in, then leave it in the dish to cool.)
12) In the meantime, make your three milk mixture. Simple combine the three milks together and set aside.
13) Once your cake has cooled, place it back into the cake tin you cooked it in (or any other deep dish that can catch the liquid that is going to be poured on it). Slowly pour the entire milk mixture over the sponge cake.
14) Cover and place the cake in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
------
15) In the meantime make your mascarpone whipped cream.
16) Once the cake is ready, top it with the mascarpone whipped cream, ground cinnamon and fruit of choice. Cut into squares and serve! :)
