Ingredients
- 400 g self-raising flour
- 450 g caster sugar aka super fine sugar
- 50 g Galaxy Hot Chocolate mix
- 200 g butter unsalted
- 4 egg large
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- 480 ml milk semi skimmed
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Galaxy Ganache
- 300 g Galaxy Easter chocolate
- 50 g butter
- 120 ml heavy cream also called double cream
- Easter chocolates for decorating
Kitchen Gadgets
- Cosori Air Fryer
- Philips Air Fryer XL
- Thermomix
- 2 Red Round 6 Inch Silicone Pans
Instructions
- Add the sugar and the butter to the Thermomix and mix on speed 4 for 3 minutes.
- Then add in the olive oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix at the same speed for another 2 minutes.
- Next scrape the edges for any excess with a silicone spatula and then add the flour and the chocolate powder. Mix on speed 4 for 2 minutes.
- Scrape the edges again and add the milk and do a last mix on the same speed for 2 more minutes. Then pour the mixture into 2 silicone pans. Place the pans into the air fryer and air fry for 15 minutes at 170c/340f followed by 25 minutes at 160c/320f so that the middle will cook. Check with a thermometer that it comes out clean and if it doesn’t add an extra 10 minutes at 150c/300f.
- Then leave the silicone cake pans to cool and then remove the silicone.
- When the cakes are cool make the ganache. Add all the ganache ingredients into the Thermomix and cook at 75c/165f on speed 2 for 5 minutes or until you have a creamy ganache. If too thick adjust with a little extra double cream. Then fridge for an hour and then stir.
- Trim the top off the cakes to make them level. Then add a little ganache to a cake board to help keep the cake in place. Add the bottom cake to a cake board, then add a layer of ganache or swap for some buttercream, then sandwich the other cake on top.
- Then pour over the ganache and finish with some easter decorations. Fridge for an hour to fully set before slicing.

Notes
- Mixture. We used a mixture of different Easter chocolates eggs, but you can do any. Or you can just stick to Galaxy chocolate to keep in with the theme of a galaxy chocolate cake recipe.
