Instructions
Chocolate Sponge
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350 Fahrenheit. Generously grease two 21 x 4 cm round non-stick baking tins with butter.
- Add all ingredients to blender, starting with the wet, and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape the sides a couple of times and blitz again.
- Spoon the mix into your greased baking tins and bake for about 35 minutes or until you can insert and remove a skewer without any crumbs sticking. Do not over bake as it will firm up as it cools.
- Allow to fully cool.
Ganache
- Place the cream in a pan on med/ low and heat until hot, just as it starts to simmer. Do not boil. Turn off the heat.
- Chop the chocolate quite fine. Add to the hot cream. Do not stir. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Stirring will cool down the mix too quickly and may result in splitting.
- Stir with a spatula until melted. If your ganache splits, don’t panic, just put in a food processor and blend until smooth and it will right itself. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes so not boiling but still easily spreadable.
Assembly
- Spread the ganache on the top of both cakes. Allow to set and then stack the cakes one on top of the other.
Notes
- Makes 16 servings. Net carbs: 5.5g per slice.
- Optional topping: melt 2 squares of dark chocolate and spread on a marble slab. Allow to cool and use a scraper to make chocolate scrapes for decoration, or simply grate if you prefer.
- Add the wet ingredients to the blender first so all the dry ingredients do not get stuck at the bottom.
- If your ganache splits, don't panic! Just put it in a food processor and blend until smooth and it will right itself.
- You can make half the recipe if you don't want a huge cake and just use 1 springform. In this case, use 4 medium eggs.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
