The best chocolate cake you will ever eat

Hello!

So I know that the name of this post is a lot to live by but i’m telling you now, I have had a lot of chocolate cake in my time and this is by far the best one I have ever had.

So my little sister came to stay with me last weekend and we decided we wanted to make something chocolatey. After trawling through hundreds of recipes we eventually decided on this one as I already had most of the ingredients (and the picture looked amazing). Here is the recipe from BBC good food;

We followed the recipe exactly (and yes it really does take 1hr30 in the oven!) but we ended up only cutting it into 2 layers (3 seemed too challenging and like too much effort). The ganache is gorgeous but from my point of view needed to state in the recipe to put it in the fridge for at least half an hour to cool and thicken before spreading on the cake. We also didn’t have any fancy chocolate curls to decorate with so we used Mini Eggs (our cake is below).

I am telling you now, this cake may take a while to bake but my gosh it is worth it! It is very rich and squidgy, almost like a brownie, and you only need a small slice to truly understand the deliciousness of this cake. So go on, give it a try, you will not regret it.
