A chocolate cake is the best proof that you can make a heavenly cake with minimal effort – simple ingredients, a simple method, and a taste that’s simply divine.

Our chocolate dream cake doesn’t just have an intensely chocolatey flavour. It’s like a little chocolate cloud: light, airy, and incredibly moist. As it’s extra easy to make, you can whip up a delicious dream cake if you’re hungry for something sweet at the drop of a hat.

Encores

What else you’ll need

• 3 medium eggs
• 200 g cream

Preparation

Make the dough

1. Preheat a conventional oven to around 150 °C (fan approx. 150 °C) and line a springform tin (26 cm in diameter) with baking paper. The edge of the tray should also be greased.
2. Put the baking mix, eggs and liquid cream into a mixing bowl and mix with an electric hand mixer (whisk) on the lowest setting at first, then the highest setting for around 3 minutes, until creamy.

Bake

1. Now the dough can be placed in the prepared springform tin and smoothed out.
2. Sieve half the powdered sugar onto the dough and bake the cake in the lower third of the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.

Cool and decorate

1. After baking, carefully loosen the edge of the springform tin, using a knife where necessary, and place the cake on a wire rack to cook.
2. Turn the cooled cake out onto a plate and carefully detach the baking paper from the base. Then place a cake plate on the cake and turn back out. Decorate with the rest of the powdered sugar before serving.
