Best Chocolate Cake Recipe
Can I reduce the sugar and the vanilla sugar?
Of course, the sugar can be dropped to half the amount. The vanilla sugar on the other hand I wouldn’t really recommend reducing as it’s essential for the flavor.
Should the cake be stored in the fridge?
Depending on how quickly you eat it 🙂
Cakes can usually be stored at room temperature for two days and in the refrigerator for a week.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 Eggs
- 1 ½ cups Sugar (300g)
- ⅓ cup Vegetable Oil (80g)
- 2 packets Vanilla Sugar (20g)
- 2 packets Baking powder (20g)
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 1 ½ cups Flour (200g)
- 1 ½ cups Boiling water (360 ml)
For the ganache :
- 1 (250 ml) box of heavy cream
- 200 grams of dark chocolate
Instructions
- Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites on high speed for 5 minutes, then add the sugar, egg yolks, and oil to the bowl. Whisk again until well combined.
- As you add the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and water, turn the mixer down to low speed.
- The batter should be poured into the baking pan and then baked at 150C degrees (conventional heating) for about 45 minutes. A toothpick can be inserted into the center of the cake to check its readiness. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Ganache
- Put the heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl.
- Chop the chocolate finely and add it to the bowl along with two tablespoons of boiling water.
- Melt together in a microwave for about 40 seconds, then remove and mix thoroughly.
- Repeat the process once more for an additional 40 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted.
- The ganache is ready! pour it over the cake (while both are warm), let cake cool and place in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
