Simple Chocolate Birthday Cake Recipe That Tastes Great
Bake this chocolate birthday cake recipe at home with cocoa, egg yolks and butter, then decorate it with whipped cream, chocolate and cherries.
No birthday celebration is complete without its centerpiece: the birthday cake. A birthday cake is a bit different from everyday bread because of its eye-catching decoration, so people usually order one from a bakery that makes cakes to order. It may look complicated to make, but that doesn't mean you can't bake one yourself. Here is a chocolate birthday cake recipe that suits a birthday celebration perfectly.
Ingredients for the chocolate birthday cake
To make this cake, you don't need many ingredients, and they are easy to find, so shopping won't take much of your time. For the batter, get 150 grams of medium-protein flour, 50 grams of cocoa powder, and 1 tablespoon of powdered milk. To go with it, have 8 egg yolks, 200 grams of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of ovalet (a cake emulsifier), and 150 grams of butter. For decoration, use 100 grams of baking chocolate and a few cherries.
How to make the chocolate birthday cake
First, combine the ingredients for the dry mix: the flour, powdered milk, and cocoa powder. Stir until evenly blended and set aside in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, then add the granulated sugar and ovalet. Beat until the egg mixture is thick and fluffy. Then fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture a little at a time. Next, add the whipped butter and stir until the batter is completely smooth. Meanwhile, prepare the baking pan by greasing it with butter. When the pan is ready, pour in the batter.
Next, put the pan in the oven and set it to 180°C (about 350°F). Baking the cake until it is done usually takes about 30 minutes. To check whether it is fully baked, poke the cake with a skewer. Once it is done, take it out right away and let it cool. Only then can you decorate it, to your own taste. For example, spread whipped cream or buttercream over the surface. Then arrange thin pieces of baking chocolate on top as you like and pipe whipped cream into the center of the cake. To make the birthday cake look even sweeter, add a few cherries on top.
