CHOCOLATE NIRVANA CAKE RECIPE - (4/5)

Chocolate Nirvana Cake Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-47609

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 squares semi sweet baking chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 sticks butter
4 eggs (or equivalent egg substitute)
1 thin Ghiardelli choc bar
Drop almond extract (or vanilla)

Steps:

Melt butter and chocolate in a sauce pan. Add the eggs, sugar and extract. Mix w/ beater. Pour into spring form pan sprayed with pam with a cookie sheet under it. Bake at 300 F for 45 mins. Cool and refrigerate a few hours or overnight. Still in question on best time to remove from pan. In the end, I refrigerated it and then removed but it stuck to the bottom like a cheese cake. Melt the candy bar and spread over just the top of cake. Refrigerate until hardens. Serve with fresh whipped cream or raspberry glaze

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to mix together more easily and create a smooth batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Serve the cake at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

The Chocolate Nirvana Cake is a rich, decadent, and delicious cake that is perfect for any chocolate lover. With its moist chocolate cake layers, creamy chocolate frosting, and chocolate ganache, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.

You can also try experimenting with different flavors of chocolate or adding other ingredients to the cake, such as nuts, fruits, or spices, to create your own unique Chocolate Nirvana Cake.
